| andrago | bye | 00:00 |
| draik | dwidmann_laptop: Thank you. It worked out for me. :) Much thanks | 00:01 |
| dwidmann_laptop | draik: no problem :) | 00:01 |
| andrago | hey, it works | 00:01 |

| jereme | thanks to fglrx locking up on exit, I learned about Alt+SysReq SUB | 00:02 |
| jereme | I wonder how many people who just quit typed Alt+SysReq SUB after I typed it :) | 00:05 |

| norman_x | Hi out there! Does anybody know, why a UMAX S-12 SCSI Scanner is not recognized by xsane 0995? Under Ubuntu and Sidux it runs without any problem. Sorry for my bad english! | 00:06 |
| === kewark is now known as krawek | ||
| norman_x | sorry, I forgot, I use Kubuntu 8.04 with kde3.5.9 | 00:07 |
| dwidmann_laptop | norman_x: is it listed on here? http://www.sane-project.org/sane-supported-devices.html | 00:11 |
| norman_x | dwidmann_laptop: yes, it is listed. It runs under Linux since years, with Ubuntu/Kubuntu 7.10 no problems, also no problems with sidux and opensuse | 00:12 |
| dwidmann_laptop | norman_x: I'd say check around on bugs.launchpad.net and see if you can find anything about it. Hardy has brought in quite a few new problems. I've got a couple computers that won't be upgrading to Hardy anytime soon seeing as KDE's printer support is messed up :\ | 00:14 |
| Jucato | s/KDE's/Kubuntu's/ | 00:16 |
| dwidmann_laptop | erm, yeah and/or maybe, I'll compile a vanilla kde 3.5.9 and find out maybe. | 00:17 |
| norman_x | dwidmann_laptop: thanx. where can I find bugs.luanchpad.net? Sorry, I never was there | 00:17 |
| dwidmann_laptop | norman_x: http:// | 00:18 |

| norman_x | dwidmann_laptop: ok, thanx | 00:18 |

| norman_x | dwidmann_laptop: have a solution for my scanner problem: when I start xsane as root, it reconizes my scanner. Wich group my user must join or with port I have to chown for solving that? | 00:26 |
| avihayb | Howdy folks. can any of ya all tell me if ya know what to do if the taskbar dissapears on ya in that fancy whatchamcallit KDE4(.0.3 I belive) that you get with the new distribution? the darn thing just dosn't appear when I try to log in... | 00:28 |
| BluesKaj | avihayb, ask the folks at #kubuntu-kde4 | 00:30 |
| Walzmyn | avihayb, it was my understanding that panel hidding was not yet implimented in kde4 - sounds like you have a larger issue | 00:30 |
| avihayb | I'ts not a hideing issue, I've seen some unanswerd posts on da web. at first I thought I messed too much with em fancy indirect renderers/compositor framework thiingamajig, but I think it's somth else | 00:32 |
| ForzaPalermo | hey guys, i just did a fresh install of kubuntu 8.04 w/ kde4 but my volume keys wont work on my laptop? any ideas | 00:32 |
| ForzaPalermo | i ran xev, and do show that they keys have an output when pressed eg XF86AudioLowerVolume | 00:33 |
| BluesKaj | ForzaPalermo, try in #kubuntu-kde4 | 00:33 |
| Makuseru | i have a device hooked up to my computer, the device is serial, and i have a serial to usb adapter comming from it, so its plugging into a usb port, and the program im using this device with wont autofind the device, it asks me what port its on, how can i find this out to enter it in? | 00:34 |

| ForzaPalermo | anyone know how to install the mplayer plugin without installing firefox3 in adept | 00:43 |
| ForzaPalermo | i have it installed manually a lready, it wants the ones in the repos as a requirement? | 00:43 |
| temoto_alt40 | How do i view VLC on secondary display? | 00:43 |
| temoto_alt40 | Perfectly i want to show one virtual KDE desktop on primary monitor and another v.desktop on secondary. | 00:44 |
| naught102 | anyone using ff3 in hardy and notice that check boxes and radio buttons don't show when active? | 00:51 |
| CrunchyFerrett | naught102: I've noticed that. | 00:52 |
| CrunchyFerrett | I just ignore it and keep moving | 00:52 |
| naught102 | yeah... it gets a bit annoying though.. surely there's some fix... | 00:52 |
| * siofwolves went back to ff2 | 00:52 | |
| === kewark is now known as krawek | ||
| jereme | naught102: select boxes too | 00:58 |
| Walzmyn | ForzaPalermo, mplayer plugin for what? | 01:01 |
| ForzaPalermo | firefox | 01:02 |
| ForzaPalermo | i have 3 installed already manually | 01:02 |
| ForzaPalermo | but it wants to install the one from the repos when i want to install the plugin | 01:02 |
| Walzmyn | ForzaPalermo, ah. hmm, I don't think you'll be able to do that | 01:02 |
| Walzmyn | ForzaPalermo, the plug-in package is going to require the F3 package and you can't tell the database it's already there | 01:03 |
| ForzaPalermo | Walzmyn, i used to be able to | 01:03 |
| Walzmyn | f3 = ff3 | 01:03 |
| ForzaPalermo | ive always done it this way | 01:03 |
| Walzmyn | really? huh. I would not have thought it was possible | 01:04 |
| ForzaPalermo | yeah it used to just put the plugin in a directory, and that would flow through a simlink where i needed it | 01:05 |
| Walzmyn | see if you can just download the plugin and install it without apt-get | 01:07 |
| Walzmyn | sorry, yer outta my league here, i just installed FF3 with apt | 01:07 |
| naught102 | CrunchyFerrett:, jereme: either of you using tabmix plus? | 01:10 |
| temoto_alt40 | How to make KDE3 taskbar show only icons of active tasks, not titles? | 01:11 |
| temoto_alt40 | I want big icons like in MacOSX or like BlackBox option. | 01:12 |
| CrunchyFerett | naught102: If I am, I dont know about it. | 01:12 |
| ForzaPalermo | where can i get just the plugin? | 01:12 |
| naught102 | hehe | 01:12 |
| Walzmyn | ForzaPalermo, google is your friend | 01:12 |
| Walzmyn | temoto_alt40, just so you're not being ignored, i've no idea | 01:13 |
| ForzaPalermo | lol | 01:13 |
| temoto_alt40 | Walzmyn, if you have ideas on forcing two rows of icons in tray bar? | 01:13 |
| avihayb | temoto_alt40: I have a way that sometimes works... | 01:14 |
| temoto_alt40 | avihayb, what is it? | 01:15 |
| Walzmyn | temoto_alt40, you using kde 3 or 4? | 01:15 |
| temoto_alt40 | Walzmyn, 3. | 01:15 |
| avihayb | In configure punnle, I choose a costume size, put the old value+ 1 and apply untill the icons fit into two lines, then i decrease the size untill it's what I want or the icons merge into one line | 01:16 |
| avihayb | *panel *until | 01:16 |
| avihayb | works in bouth k3andk4 | 01:16 |
| temoto_alt40 | Walzmyn, i tried to install XGL and compiz and it was really slow, something with ATI drivers i guess, but i didn't manage to run it normal. And i tried KDE4 at the very that time so it was slow too, i don't know if it will run fast enough now and didn't try yet. But eventually i will try to upgrade to KDE4. | 01:16 |
| temoto_alt40 | avihayb, thanks. | 01:17 |
| avihayb | temoto_alt40: did it work? | 01:17 |
| temoto_alt40 | avihayb, yes, thanks again. | 01:18 |
| matt123 | hi! does anyone know which files to delete to reset plasma? | 01:19 |
| avihayb | btw, with old ATI cards (and I mean ol'e) what's the best driver to run? | 01:20 |
| avihayb | specificly ATI RADEON ALL-IN-WONDER 7100 or 7200 | 01:23 |
| jereme | the legacy driver | 01:23 |
| jereme | I think it's just called ati | 01:23 |
| jereme | actually | 01:23 |
| jereme | a radeon card might just use the fglrx driver | 01:24 |
| jereme | even if it's old | 01:24 |
| Ghittsum | I lost my desktop when I boot up my linux box. How do I get it back? I get something to the effect of kinit: no resume image, doing normal boot...; then I get a login prompt | 01:24 |
| jereme | sounds bad | 01:24 |
| Mimi | Thats not an error | 01:24 |
| jereme | you don't have a disc in the drive or anything do you? | 01:24 |
| Ghittsum | I know it isn't | 01:24 |
| Ghittsum | no | 01:25 |
| avihayb | a day or so after upgrading kubuntu , it decided I (on it's own I might add) that it's time to switch from ATI to FGLRX... | 01:25 |
| Ghittsum | I wish I knew what to ask to go and look for answers, but I dont | 01:25 |
| jereme | avihayb: well fglrx is the preferred driver if your card supports it | 01:25 |
| Mimi | Ghittsum, when you login on that black screen, type sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start (if you have ubuntu, not kubuntu) | 01:26 |
| Ghittsum | I have kubuntu gusty gimp or whatever | 01:26 |
| jereme | sudo /etc/init.d/kdm start for kubuntu | 01:26 |
| jereme | since this is a kubuntu channel | 01:26 |
| Mimi | then kdm, like jereme | 01:26 |
| jereme | gutsy gibbon? | 01:26 |
| Mimi | OOPS!!! i forgot I left #ubuntu xd! sorry! | 01:26 |
| Ghittsum | thanks, I will try | 01:27 |

| ubottu | Aquí solamente hablamos inglés. Para Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es - allí obtendrá más ayuda. | 01:27 |
| Ghittsum | it says kdm is already running, but it isn't in my process list | 01:28 |
| mocoxk | ok | 01:28 |
| avihayb | jereme: how would I know if my card support it? save the it dosn't work at all? | 01:28 |
| jereme | here's what once was a list of supported cards | 01:30 |
| jereme | http://xoomer.alice.it/flavio.stanchina/debian/fglrx-supported.txt | 01:30 |
| jereme | ah, here's a maintained list | 01:31 |
| jereme | http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Hardware | 01:31 |
| jereme | I don't see your card on it | 01:31 |
| jereme | it looks like support for your card was suspended | 01:31 |
| jereme | you either need to run the 'ati' driver | 01:31 |
| jereme | or find an old copy of the fglrx driver, pre 8.40.4 | 01:32 |
| Ghittsum | well, I guess I could just reformat and start over again | 01:32 |
| avihayb | nither do I, but I rememberd I have torcs installd by taking to ya, and I get a 10 FPS boost, so I guess it's better? old fps was 20ish... | 01:33 |
| Ghittsum | I almost have a routine for everything I need to put a webserver together...I've done it a couple times now. | 01:33 |
| jereme | there is an open source driver for radeon cards, not sure what it supports | 01:33 |
| nosrednaekim | it supports 3d accel on most older cards | 01:34 |
| Ghittsum | is there somewhere I can go and pay for help? | 01:35 |
| nosrednaekim | !support | 01:35 |
| ubottu | The official ubuntu support channel is #ubuntu. Also see http://ubuntu.com/support and http://ubuntuforums.org | 01:35 |
| jereme | Ghittsum if you can't start kdm, I imagine your xorg.conf is blown somehow | 01:36 |
| jereme | that's a wild shot in the dark though | 01:36 |
| Ghittsum | I just left it sitting a couple days, came back and no more desktop | 01:36 |
| jereme | that's odd | 01:36 |
| jereme | if you didn't change anything | 01:36 |
| jereme | you _might_ have a hardware issue... another shot in the dark though | 01:36 |
| Ghittsum | can i sudo dkpg-reconfigure xorg.conf? | 01:36 |
| Ghittsum | I replaced the hard drive with another one, my old seagate from my xp box | 01:37 |
| BluesKaj | Ghittsum, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 01:38 |
| Ghittsum | ok, I'll try that | 01:38 |
| Ghittsum | xserver-xorg is broken or not fully installed | 01:40 |
| HermanChess | is kubuntu 8.04 as it is, stable? | 01:41 |
| Odd-rationale | HermanChess: the kde3 version? is rock solid | 01:41 |
| temoto_alt40 | Can i speed up adept GUI? | 01:41 |
| BluesKaj | with kde3 yes | 01:41 |
| HermanChess | and how bad is it with kde 4? | 01:41 |
| Odd-rationale | HermanChess: somewhat incomplete... | 01:41 |
| temoto_alt40 | Select new package to install in adept and i wait 2-6 sec before it actually sets the flag. | 01:42 |
| HermanChess | oh, I'm downloading kubuntu right now, it's not good to hear that | 01:42 |
| NickPresta | HermanChess, Kubuntu comes with 3.5.9 as the default, unless you're downloading the KDE4 remix | 01:42 |
| HermanChess | so I'll get the same old interface? | 01:43 |
| NickPresta | HermanChess, you will be presented with KDE 3.5.9. You can choose to install KDE4 if you wish | 01:44 |
| Jucato | !khardy | 01:44 |
| ubottu | Kubuntu Hardy Heron expects to ship with both KDE 3 and KDE 4 as 2 separate disks. KDE 3 should be offered by shipit. The KDE 3 CD will be commercially supported for 18 months and KDE 4 will be community supported | 01:44 |

| jereme | if it's long, put it in a pastebin | 01:55 |

| jereme | nosrednaekim: he should be able to just run X | 02:00 |
| jereme | nosrednaekim: startx calls X | 02:00 |
| nosrednaekim | yes... and sets a ton of stuff previous to that.... | 02:00 |
| nosrednaekim | some of which I am sure is essential. | 02:01 |
| Odd-rationale | jereme: if he is using konversation, he could just do: /exec cmd ls /etc/X11/ | 02:01 |

| nosrednaekim | hello Mimi :) | 02:03 |
| Mimi | ^^ | 02:03 |
| Ghittsum | umm....no such file or directory | 02:03 |
| jereme | there's your problem | 02:04 |
| Ghittsum | can I sudo apt-get Xorg? | 02:04 |
| jereme | close | 02:04 |
| Ghittsum | I dunno where it went | 02:04 |
| jereme | sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg | 02:04 |
| Ghittsum | what could cause it to go away? | 02:04 |
| jereme | sometimes an apt-get upgrade will do the damndest things and remove things you needed | 02:05 |
| nosrednaekim | better would be "sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop" | 02:05 |
| nosrednaekim | do get everything | 02:05 |
| jereme | this may not be a simple solution, if you have a package conflict that caused this | 02:05 |
| Ghittsum | :\ | 02:05 |
| jereme | Ghittsum: actually yes, try what nosrednaekim said first, then try what I said if the kubuntu-desktop package is already installed | 02:06 |
| Ghittsum | I went ahead and jumped the gun on what you said, jereme | 02:06 |
| Ghittsum | sorry, I got up and went to do it | 02:06 |
| jereme | Ghittsum: then do what nosrednaekim said next :) | 02:06 |
| Ghittsum | k | 02:07 |
| Ghittsum | thanks guys, I appreciate the troubleshooting | 02:07 |
| jereme | hey I hope it works | 02:07 |
| Mimi | nosrednaekim, when I read your name, it sounds like random letters to me, but I always read it as Red Nose Skin lol | 02:07 |
| jereme | I hate to see someone reinstall linux to make it work | 02:07 |
| jereme | that's a windows tactic | 02:07 |
| jereme | Mimi: Mike Anderson | 02:07 |
| Mimi | Who? | 02:08 |

| Ghittsum | I'm glad you guys are passionate about linux | 02:08 |
| nosrednaekim | people call me "red nose" and "redneck" | 02:09 |
| Mimi | Yeah sorry you're having troubles with it :( | 02:09 |
| Ghittsum | it's ok, I'm very green stepping into this different type of computing environment | 02:09 |
| Ghittsum | I presume when it's done getting apts, I can just shutdown and reboot? | 02:10 |
| jereme | linux, when used right is more stable and more sexy than windows... I get much greater productivity out of my kubuntu box than any windows machine I've ever used | 02:10 |
| jereme | Ghittsum: it'd be worth typing X again to see if does anything | 02:10 |
| Mimi | Ghittsum, yes but you shoudlnt need to reboot , i think, | 02:10 |
| nosrednaekim | Ghittsum: hum, question, I haven't been flowing really, but you aren't on the liveCD are you? | 02:10 |
| jereme | tru | 02:11 |
| jereme | you could just do | 02:11 |
| jereme | sudo /etc/init.d/kdm restart | 02:11 |
| jereme | another linux versus windows trick | 02:11 |
| jereme | 99% of the stuff done in linux doesn't require a reboot | 02:11 |
| jereme | unlike windows | 02:11 |
| Ghittsum | nosred, no, I'm not using the liveCD | 02:11 |
| nosrednaekim | ok.. good :) | 02:12 |
| jereme | hey Ghittsum, I gotta jet... but I think you're on the right path | 02:12 |

| nosrednaekim | Ghittsum: thats good enough.... hit ctrl+alt+backspace | 02:13 |
| Ghittsum | X | 02:13 |
| jereme | yeah | 02:13 |
| Mimi | lol | 02:13 |
| nosrednaekim | then "sudo /etc/init.d/kdm restart" | 02:13 |
| jereme | ctrl+alt+backspace | 02:13 |

| NewBerner | hi all | 02:20 |
| NewBerner | anyone know samba? | 02:21 |
| NewBerner | oic a samba channel | 02:21 |
| Mimi | have you tried #samba ?? | 02:22 |
| Mimi | There's 120 something people there | 02:22 |
| Mimi | Where are the pink unicorns? | 02:28 |
| CrunchyFerett | where does kubuntu store drivers? | 02:28 |
| nosrednaekim | CrunchyFerett: as kernel modules | 02:29 |
| CrunchyFerett | yeah, but where? | 02:29 |
| CrunchyFerett | in the fs | 02:29 |
| nosrednaekim | /usr/src/linux/modules maybe?not sure | 02:30 |
| CrunchyFerett | hm | 02:30 |
| CrunchyFerett | perhaps I should rephrase | 02:30 |
| CrunchyFerett | I made a new b43.ko file. | 02:31 |
| CrunchyFerett | I want to replace the existing b43 with my new one. | 02:31 |
| wirechief-intel | look at .so files in /usr/lib/packagename | 02:31 |
| CrunchyFerett | where would I find the existing one, so that I can delete it, replace it, and reboot | 02:31 |
| wirechief-intel | CrunchyFerett: just do updatedb then locate *.ko | 02:32 |
| wirechief-intel | if the name is b43.ko just do a locate after you do the updatedb | 02:33 |
| CrunchyFerett | !updatedb | 02:33 |
| ubottu | Factoid updatedb not found | 02:33 |
| wirechief-intel | ok so its sudo updatedb | 02:33 |
| CrunchyFerett | its /lib/modules/2.6.24-17-generic/ | 02:34 |
| leo_rockw | hola #kubuntu what's up? | 02:35 |
| nosrednaekim | hey leo_rockw | 02:35 |
| wirechief-intel | CrunchyFerett: if you use locate you can find anything. | 02:35 |
| leo_rockw | CrunchyFerett: just remember to updatedb | 02:36 |
| wirechief-intel | yep | 02:36 |
| leo_rockw | (idk what are you guys talking about anyway... lol) | 02:36 |
| wirechief-intel | well not needed if you havent made any changes | 02:36 |
| CrunchyFerett | wirechief: awesome tip man | 02:36 |
| leo_rockw | i think there's a cron job for that anyway | 02:36 |
| CrunchyFerett | ok | 02:36 |
| wirechief-intel | ;) | 02:36 |
| CrunchyFerett | so to unload the module, I use modprobe -r b43 | 02:36 |
| CrunchyFerett | right? | 02:36 |
| wirechief-intel | CrunchyFerett: your on your way to really learning linux now. | 02:37 |
| CrunchyFerett | Ima tryin | 02:37 |
| leo_rockw | CrunchyFerett: why are you unloading b43? | 02:37 |
| wirechief-intel | that one command will be a big assest | 02:37 |
| wirechief-intel | asset | 02:37 |
| CrunchyFerett | leo_rockw: I made a new one with a patch. so Im swapping it | 02:37 |
| leo_rockw | CrunchyFerett: ooo, ok. what's in the patch? | 02:37 |
| leo_rockw | and... is there any difference between modprobe -r and rmmod? | 02:38 |
| wirechief-intel | CrunchyFerett: best rename it before you overwrite save as a .bak so you can recover if needed | 02:38 |
| CrunchyFerett | packet injection. (and no, not for the reasons that Im sure immediately spring to your mind) | 02:38 |
| leo_rockw | CrunchyFerett: i don't know what packet injection is... so nothing comes to my mind lol | 02:38 |
| nosrednaekim | leo_rockw: they are the same I think | 02:38 |
| leo_rockw | CrunchyFerett: i was just wondering because i'm using b43 | 02:38 |
| CrunchyFerett | oh | 02:38 |
| leo_rockw | nosrednaekim: oh, ok. thanks | 02:38 |
| CrunchyFerett | its a wep attack method for breaking wep keys | 02:38 |
| leo_rockw | CrunchyFerett: oh, nice. if it works maybe it would be nice to make the code available so security improves | 02:39 |
| * wirechief-intel puts wep key under the door mat | 02:39 | |
| * leo_rockw uses mac filtering and wep key | 02:40 | |
| CrunchyFerett | leo_rockw: not my work. www.latinsud.com/bcm | 02:40 |
| leo_rockw | CrunchyFerett: thanks for the url, i'm going to take a look and see if i understand what it does. | 02:41 |
| adude | anybody here have experience with amarok? | 02:41 |
| p_quarles | adude, lots of people here | 02:41 |
| p_quarles | !ask | 02:41 |
| ubottu | Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) | 02:41 |
| CrunchyFerett | oh dear | 02:42 |
| CrunchyFerett | I seem to have missed a critical step somewhere | 02:42 |
| billyd | No - y biggest learning thing in Amarok was each statio had ot be clicked AND LOADED | 02:42 |
| adude | i'm trying to access my mp3 player from amarok how do i do it? | 02:43 |
| CrunchyFerett | crap | 02:43 |
| CrunchyFerett | How do I compile a single kernel module without have to compile all of them? | 02:43 |
| nosrednaekim | !modutils | 02:44 |
| ubottu | Factoid modutils not found | 02:44 |
| nosrednaekim | somethngs like that command ^^ | 02:44 |
| leo_rockw | !info modutils | 02:44 |
| ubottu | Package modutils does not exist in hardy | 02:44 |
| p_quarles | adude, what kind of MP3 player? | 02:44 |
| wirechief-intel | adude how are you connecting the mp3 player through the trs jacks ? | 02:44 |
| leo_rockw | !info module-init-tools | 02:44 |
| ubottu | module-init-tools (source: module-init-tools): tools for managing Linux kernel modules. In component main, is important. Version 3.3-pre11-4ubuntu5 (hardy), package size 73 kB, installed size 324 kB | 02:44 |
| adude | a samsung YP-Z5 | 02:44 |
| rodolfo | #ubuntu-es | 02:45 |
| p_quarles | adude, does it support MTP, mass storage, both or neither? | 02:45 |
| adude | both | 02:45 |
| CrunchyFerett | ty leo | 02:45 |
| leo_rockw | CrunchyFerett: yup... i might take a look into that too. i'm working on a custom kernel. | 02:45 |
| p_quarles | adude, have you tried hitting "autodetect" from the Amarok configuration >> devices menu? | 02:45 |
| CrunchyFerett | nifty! n | 02:46 |
| CrunchyFerett | Thats even installed already | 02:46 |
| CrunchyFerett | must discover how to use it | 02:46 |
| adude | not yet | 02:46 |
| leo_rockw | CrunchyFerett: all my linux does so far is panic (it's a linux from scratch) | 02:46 |
| CrunchyFerett | lol leo | 02:46 |
| p_quarles | adude, well that's the first step -- try that; if it doesn't work it's relatively easy to configure it manually | 02:46 |
| CrunchyFerett | leo_rockw: I dont see module-init-tools in my GUI, so I assume its command line? | 02:47 |
| CrunchyFerett | how do I access it"? | 02:47 |
| nosrednaekim | CrunchyFerett: I think you need to google up a tutorial sir :) | 02:48 |
| leo_rockw | CrunchyFerett: i was just repeating what nosrednaekim said... apparently that package has lsmod, modprobe, rmmod et al | 02:49 |
| CrunchyFerett | oh, I have all that | 02:49 |
| CrunchyFerett | I need to know how to compile the module | 02:49 |
| CrunchyFerett | without have to compile ALL of them (it'll take hours) | 02:50 |
| leo_rockw | CrunchyFerett: modprobing should do the trick | 02:50 |
| CrunchyFerett | explain | 02:51 |
| nosrednaekim | CrunchyFerett: you should only need "make" and "make install" | 02:51 |
| matiee | Hello everybody. I need some help about how to hide files and folder "à la Edgy", that is how to hide files without renaming them | 02:51 |
| matiee | could someone please give help? | 02:52 |
| CrunchyFerett | hm | 02:52 |
| leo_rockw | matiee: er... you do need to rename them. just put a "." before the name of the file | 02:52 |
| wirechief-intel | matiee why not move them to a usb stick and put it in a safe ? | 02:53 |
| leo_rockw | or encrypt them w/ gpg... | 02:53 |
| wirechief-intel | matiee then only you will be able to access | 02:53 |
| matiee | wiredchief: I know that the standard for unix systems is to put a dot before the name of the file or folder, | 02:53 |
| matiee | but I also know | 02:53 |
| matiee | that a in Ubuntu Edgy it was possible to specify | 02:54 |
| matiee | which files and folders to hide | 02:54 |
| leo_rockw | matiee: may i ask why is that you don't want to add the dot? | 02:54 |
| CrunchyFerett | nosrednaekim: take a look at that, if you dont mind. http://pastebin.org/35005 | 02:54 |
| matiee | from inside a file called | 02:54 |
| matiee | .hidden. | 02:54 |
| leo_rockw | CrunchyFerett: don't use sudo for make | 02:54 |
| leo_rockw | CrunchyFerett: and you need to ./configure firt | 02:54 |
| leo_rockw | first* | 02:55 |
| CrunchyFerett | kk | 02:55 |
| wirechief-intel | matiee you can do this gpg -c filename | 02:55 |
| wirechief-intel | that will encrypt | 02:55 |
| CrunchyFerett | bash: ./configure: No such file or directory | 02:55 |
| matiee | leo_rockw: I simply can't rename the files and folders because they are important files and folders. | 02:55 |
| matiee | i.e.: | 02:55 |
| matiee | I want to hide /boot, /var, /sbin and so on. | 02:56 |
| leo_rockw | matiee: put them in a folder... change the permissions | 02:56 |
| leo_rockw | matiee: just change the permissions | 02:56 |
| leo_rockw | matiee: make the user not able to leave $HOME | 02:56 |
| matiee | the user could be myself, and I'm the administrator. | 02:57 |
| leo_rockw | CrunchyFerett: is there a README or INSTALL file? | 02:57 |
| leo_rockw | matiee: no, you're not | 02:57 |
| leo_rockw | matiee: sudo su that's your root | 02:57 |
| CrunchyFerett | leo: there is not. Its been a 4 day research project for me | 02:58 |
| matiee | sorry: I don't get the point... :S | 02:58 |
| leo_rockw | matiee: you are a normal user. root is the superuser. | 02:58 |
| matiee | leo: I just want to treat some defined folders and files | 02:58 |
| * wirechief-intel i think the safe is much faster ;) | 02:58 | |
| leo_rockw | wirechief-intel: then you can't access /boot lol | 02:58 |
| matiee | as they where dotted files and folders, without having to renaming or moving that | 02:58 |
| Daisuke_Ido | matiee: ubuntu actually attempted to do the "hide system files" thing with edgy... it didn't last | 02:59 |
| wirechief-intel | well i guess he could use the livecd to boot ;) | 02:59 |
| leo_rockw | wirechief-intel: haha | 02:59 |
| * wirechief-intel put that in a safe too | 02:59 | |
| leo_rockw | matiee: leave the security by obfuscation to M$ | 02:59 |
| matiee | Daisuke: that's exactly what I'm talking about: I find that was a great Idea and I regret that it was dropped with Feisty. | 02:59 |
| CrunchyFerett | nosrednaekim: still with me? | 02:59 |
| nosrednaekim | CrunchyFerett: googlin | 03:00 |
| matiee | Anyway: it's still possible to do the trick of the .hidden file with Hardy, but it works with nautilus only. | 03:00 |
| wirechief-intel | leo_rockw: ok, heres what he does, take HD out of his computer and put it in the safe | 03:00 |
| CrunchyFerett | nosrednaekim: lol me too. Maybe you can make more sense out of it | 03:00 |
| wirechief-intel | completely hidden now. | 03:01 |
| matiee | It no longer works with konqueror or dolphin. I'd like to know how to make it work again. | 03:01 |
| CrunchyFerett | where is stdin when I need him? He always knows this obscure stuff | 03:01 |
| nosrednaekim | CrunchyFerett: unfortunately..I need to go | 03:02 |
| wirechief-intel | matiee, if you remove the HD you can always use the livecd and a usb stick | 03:02 |
| CrunchyFerett | awwwww | 03:02 |
| baudthief | Is it possible to disable the dimming of inactive windows? | 03:02 |
| CrunchyFerett | righto. thanks for the help so far man | 03:02 |
| baudthief | * unresponsive rather | 03:02 |
| matiee | wirechief: how smart... :D | 03:02 |
| wirechief-intel | matiee it works ;) | 03:02 |
| leo_rockw | baudthief: are you using compiz? | 03:03 |
| matiee | wired: I'm sure about it... | 03:03 |
| matiee | :) | 03:03 |
| wirechief-intel | matiee that is exactly what my grand-daughter does. | 03:03 |
| wirechief-intel | shes 13 | 03:03 |
| leo_rockw | wirechief-intel: my friend's HD died and he's using slax off a pendrive :-) | 03:03 |
| baudthief | leo_rockw: yup | 03:03 |
| matiee | wired: is she happy with it? | 03:03 |
| leo_rockw | baudthief: then it is possible | 03:03 |
| wirechief-intel | leo_rockw: cool | 03:03 |
| stdin | CrunchyFerett: pastebin the Makefile | 03:04 |
| wirechief-intel | leo_rockw: but lots of computers still cant use USB so the livecd is a great tool | 03:04 |
| leo_rockw | baudthief: Kmenu > system... then somewhere there (maybe emerald... idk i don't use compiz) | 03:04 |
| wirechief-intel | leo_rockw: actually i can remove my desktops HD in less than 30 seconds after i turn it off. | 03:05 |
| leo_rockw | wirechief-intel: i still carry slax and qemmuDSL with me at all times on a USB pendrive :-P | 03:05 |
| CrunchyFerett | stdin: http://pastebin.com/d529fdac1 and hello :) | 03:06 |
| leo_rockw | wirechief-intel: i have a laptop... the desktop still has windoze until i stop being lazy and format the HD | 03:06 |
| Deiwos | er hey everyone, i have an.. installation problem, of sorts | 03:07 |
| wirechief-intel | leo_rockw: nice well ive tried usb booting with my emachine and it still needs the livecd, i used mandriva to make the boot coding. | 03:07 |
| leo_rockw | wirechief-intel: no point in removing the HD of the laptop... | 03:07 |
| CrunchyFerett | tell us all about it Deiwos | 03:07 |
| wirechief-intel | leo_rockw: well thats a different thing just put laptop in safe ;) | 03:07 |
| leo_rockw | wirechief-intel: hahaha | 03:07 |
| wirechief-intel | hahaha | 03:08 |
| mortici | is there a way for me to streach my splash screen image? | 03:08 |
| mortici | rather tahn having it small and in the corner? | 03:08 |
| leo_rockw | mortici: define splash screen image | 03:08 |
| Deiwos | when i start up my computer with the kubuntu installer cd, it gets to the menu asking if i want to try it or install it, however both of those options just lead to a loading screen looking thing, and then it drops to a command prompt | 03:08 |
| leo_rockw | mortici: kde's one? | 03:08 |
| mortici | leo_rockw: kdm login splash image | 03:08 |
| baudthief | leo_rockw: I cant find it anywhere in ccsm, even using search - google also yielded no (useful) results | 03:09 |
| stdin | CrunchyFerett: looks like it needs to be compiled from the kernel, so try running "make modules" from /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.24/ | 03:09 |
| mortici | leo_rockw: it was streched before, but it seems to have shrunk and cornered itself after the upgrade to hardy :( | 03:09 |
| stdin | CrunchyFerett: you could try using module-assistant too | 03:09 |
| leo_rockw | mortici: kcontrol > system administration > login manager > background | 03:10 |
| CrunchyFerett | stdin: Im trying to avoid compiling ALL the kernels tho. | 03:10 |
| Deiwos | and it doesn't appear that i'm able to do anything from this command prompt | 03:10 |
| leo_rockw | baudthief: i only used compiz for like 5 minutes last year. i know it's there, i just don't remember where | 03:10 |
| CrunchyFerett | and what is module-assistant | 03:10 |
| leo_rockw | Deiwos: try the startx command | 03:11 |
| leo_rockw | Deiwos: it should spit out and error... | 03:11 |
| stdin | CrunchyFerett: module-assistant is a tool used to compile kernel modules | 03:11 |
| wirechief-intel | leo_rockw: just use locate | 03:11 |
| CrunchyFerett | *googles* | 03:11 |
| leo_rockw | wirechief-intel: for what? lol | 03:11 |
| Deiwos | hm, i'll try that | 03:11 |
| wirechief-intel | leo_rockw: hmm to find compiz (if thats what you meant) | 03:12 |
| leo_rockw | wirechief-intel: ooo, no... baudthief wants to disable the dimming thing... i don't have compiz installed but i know you can do it from one of the menus, i just don't remember where | 03:12 |
| wirechief-intel | leo_rockw: well i guess if you located it and choked its neck that would do it but renaming might do the same. | 03:13 |
| leo_rockw | wirechief-intel: choking might be more fun | 03:14 |
| baudthief | leo_rockw: fading windows is disabled, I read somehwere it's firefox nor responding to compiz's pings - I increased the ping delay, hopefully that' | 03:14 |
| wirechief-intel | as compiz to compiz_old | 03:14 |
| baudthief | *d solve it | 03:14 |
| CrunchyFerett | stdin: I once again bask in your awesomeness | 03:14 |
| leo_rockw | wirechief-intel: but i don't have compiz lol | 03:14 |
| leo_rockw | wirechief-intel: and he still wants his compiz, except for the dim thing | 03:15 |
| * wirechief-intel maybe its in the safe | 03:15 | |
| mortici | leo_rockw: that doesn't help its the splash screen thats borked :/ | 03:15 |
| mortici | lemme check something | 03:15 |
| leo_rockw | wirechief-intel: $ man safe No manual entry for safe | 03:15 |
| leo_rockw | baudthief: i don't use FF either :S | 03:16 |
| baudthief | leo_rockw: gasp!? | 03:16 |
| leo_rockw | baudthief: konq :-) | 03:16 |
| baudthief | leo_rockw: *phew* | 03:16 |
| baudthief | thought you reverted to IE or something :p | 03:17 |
| Deiwos | well | 03:17 |
| leo_rockw | baudthief: i was an opera user before that... but it's not free | 03:17 |
| leo_rockw | baudthief: the last IE i used was 5.5 | 03:17 |
| Deiwos | it did come up with an error, indeed | 03:18 |
| Deiwos | /bin/sh: startx not found. | 03:18 |
| leo_rockw | Deiwos: err... i was expecting and error more like "screen not found" or "your video card drivers suck" that's weird... | 03:18 |
| Deiwos | i know | 03:18 |
| Deiwos | but this ram virtual drive whatever you want to call it seems to have pretty limited functionality | 03:19 |
| leo_rockw | Deiwos: when you select "test the live cd" hit ctrl+alt+f1 and see if there's any error | 03:19 |
| adude | how do i format a usb device? | 03:19 |
| leo_rockw | brb | 03:19 |
| Deiwos | after i press enter on it, or before? | 03:19 |

| dennister | hey channel, is anyone else having difficulty downloading from sourceforge? I can't get anywhere...download never starts, get stuck on advertiser's page...also tried wget, and it, too, gets stuck | 03:20 |
| CrunchyFerett | stdin: still around? | 03:23 |
| stdin | CrunchyFerett: for a few mins | 03:23 |
| BluesKaj | dennister, yep, same prob 2 days ago | 03:23 |
| VousDeux | does anyone know how I might go about creating a virtual nic that would serve as an ssh tunnel | 03:23 |
| CrunchyFerett | stdin: module-assistant doesnt have my drivers source in its list. | 03:24 |
| dennister | BluesKaj: ok, so I'm not the only one; have you tried it since? | 03:24 |
| BluesKaj | no | 03:24 |
| dennister | so it could have started 2 days ago, and not been fixed yet :( | 03:25 |
| BluesKaj | I found a diff mirror | 03:25 |
| stdin | CrunchyFerett: you can try copying the driver dir to /usr/src/modules/ | 03:25 |
| CrunchyFerett | good idea | 03:25 |
| BluesKaj | actually dennister , the site seemed to freeze | 03:25 |
| CrunchyFerett | except I dont have that | 03:26 |
| stdin | create it ;) | 03:26 |
| dennister | hmm...tried the 3 mirrors that were available for that package | 03:26 |
| stdin | so it should be /usr/src/modules/b43/ | 03:26 |

| stdin | leo_rockw: now you're back I can tell you, nick change on away is really annoying... | 03:28 |
| leo_rockw | stdin: they can be filtered | 03:28 |
| stdin | leo_rockw: not the point | 03:29 |

| Deiwos | 1gb of ram should be enough surely | 03:47 |
| _2 | Deiwos how much ram avalable there ? | 03:47 |
| leo_rockw | Deiwos: it should... do a memtest maybe | 03:47 |
| * _2 wonders why they make live CD's such ram hogs anyway. you should be able to boot a live CD in 16m of ram... the data is on disk it doesn't really need to all be writen to ram. | 03:50 | |
| Dr_willis | there are non-gui live cd's that can boot with very little ram. | 03:50 |
| leo_rockw | _2: it goes faster from ram | 03:51 |
| Dr_willis | of course i recall 1 floppy Linux disrtos also. :) | 03:51 |
| Deiwos | is there much difference between the kubuntu installer and the ubuntu installer? | 03:51 |
| Dr_willis | Deiwos, not that i have seen. I was thinking they ere identical. | 03:51 |
| leo_rockw | Deiwos: try an alternate | 03:51 |
| Deiwos | ok, i'm confused now, i tried googling the problem and came up with people saying that the errors i'm getting are a problem with Wubi having problems accessing an NTFS partition O_o | 03:55 |
| CrunchyFerett | sigh | 03:56 |
| CrunchyFerett | what do I if make modules doesnt work either? | 03:56 |
| _2 | <leo_rockw> _2: it goes faster from ram <<< not if it doesn't boot ;/ | 03:56 |
| Dr_willis | I dont use wubi. so cant help with it. | 03:56 |
| leo_rockw | _2: haha, you're right | 03:57 |
| Deiwos | i'm not using wubi either Dr | 03:57 |

| uhriventis | Anyone here run their comp with an older model ATI card? | 03:58 |
| leo_rockw | Deiwos: it sounds like it, that's why i recommended a memtest | 03:59 |
| Dr_willis | define old... :) | 03:59 |
| uhriventis | 2004-6 | 03:59 |
| Dr_willis | 9700 ATI card. is about as old as ive used recently | 03:59 |
| Dr_willis | I thinkit was a 9700 agp card. i used to use ages ago. | 03:59 |
| _2 | uhriventis heh you mean a newer one then :))) | 03:59 |
| Deiwos | i hate memtest, i seem to have problems with memory that 12 hours straight of memtests won't find :P | 04:00 |
| uhriventis | Uhg I have to use my onboard one. Kubuntu does not like my old ATI Radeon 9250 Pro | 04:00 |
| uhriventis | And it's 256k | 04:00 |
| uhriventis | Compared to my 64... That I'm using now | 04:00 |
| Deiwos | if an older version of ubuntu works, might that be a sign that it's not the ram? | 04:01 |
| _2 | no | 04:01 |
| Deiwos | damnit | 04:01 |
| _2 | Deiwos it might be a sign that it is actually | 04:01 |
| uhriventis | Updating to 8.04 right now | 04:01 |
| leo_rockw | Deiwos: even the same version might work depending of what part of the ram is being used | 04:01 |
| _2 | Deiwos but that would depend on several other things. | 04:01 |
| * Deiwos goes to try things | 04:02 | |

| eternicode | Take kopete for instance. kopete KDE3.x has IRC chat...kopete-kde4 does not. Couldn't stand it. | 05:02 |

| intelikey | shouldn't have been released incomplete | 05:03 |
| leo_rockw | eternicode: kde4 was released for developers. | 05:03 |

| o0Chris0o | now I am getthing this error...while running adept There was an error commiting changes. Possibly there was a problem downloading some packages or the commit would break packages. | 05:53 |
| o0Chris0o | and adept just closed right out | 05:53 |
| intelikey | sudo apt-get install -f | 05:55 |
| o0Chris0o | whts that do | 05:55 |

| Lardarse | does kde have a way to open each folder in its own window? | 05:56 |
| siva | intelikey: thanks | 05:56 |
| o0Chris0o | sudo apt-get install -f this for me? | 05:57 |
| o0Chris0o | and what does it do exactly | 05:57 |
| intelikey | yes | 05:57 |
| intelikey | probably gets us information on what the problem is on your system | 05:57 |
| o0Chris0o | ok | 05:58 |
| intelikey | alternatively fixes it without reporting an error | 05:58 |
| intelikey | we would prefer the later | 05:58 |
| o0Chris0o | wishfully thinking :) | 05:58 |
| TFrog | anyone here got the compiz cube working in Hardy? i'm having problems with it | 05:59 |
| o0Chris0o | !cube | 05:59 |
| ubottu | Compiz-Fusion (and the older Compiz and Beryl) are window managers that employ the "composite" extension of X to draw windows using graphics cards' 3D hardware. They can additionally provide "desktop special effects" (such as the "cube") by means of plug-ins. Join #compiz-fusion for help and support with advanced features.

| intelikey | and do mandrakes come from there to ? | 06:03 |
| o0Chris0o | how do I check my system for erros and such maek sure everything is running correctly. I am having a few errors some things have been deleted, and having lil errors popping up | 06:03 |
| SilentDis | is there a good 'video lab' type app for kde? I'm thinking something that'll take vid files from any source and convert to another, I.E. mpegs/avis to dvd VOBs, DVDs to avis, etc etc. I know most all of this can be done with ffmpeg, but I'm just not up on the commands for it as i should be. alternately, a good 'howto' on ffmpeg cmd line works would help a lot :) | 06:04 |
| intelikey | o0Chris0o deleted ??? | 06:04 |
| flaccid | o0Chris0o: the system log is /var/log/messages and /var/log/syslog plus there are separate logs /var/log | 06:04 |
| intelikey | o0Chris0o check /var/log/* error messages that you don't see generally go there. | 06:05 |
| SilentDis | o0Chris0o: what happened to spawn this issue? | 06:05 |
| o0Chris0o | yes I tried uninstalling libsqlite3.0 and it uninstalled some things I did sudo apt-get kde-desktop got most back, but having some other issues | 06:05 |

| o0Chris0o | lil errrors with adept quiting on me...couldn't start couldn't commit changes etc | 06:06 |
| intelikey | drif hdpram but unless you know what your doing, i'd sujest the reboot. | 06:06 |
| o0Chris0o | I am going to paste my log | 06:06 |
| intelikey | s/ra/ar/ | 06:06 |
| SilentDis | drif: i just had that myself! I upgraded the firmware (had to boot to windows to do it, blah) but it solved the situation | 06:07 |
| drif | intelikey: well, I usually do - when I know what I should be doing :D | 06:07 |
| drif | intelikey: so what about hdparm exactly | 06:07 |
| intelikey | drif you could shut the drive down, and then wake it back up might work. no promices | 06:07 |
| drif | SilentDis: and yours appeared from nowhere as well? | 06:08 |
| intelikey | drif it the kernel module didn't load correctly rmmod it and modprobe it again. dmesg might reviel that | 06:08 |
| drif | SilentDis: I had just burned dvd with k3b and got succesfull write+verify when the drive led just stayed lit | 06:08 |
| SilentDis | drif: right after i tried to run some old game, yes. I think it was The Longest Journey, in fact, under wine. Totally buggered me what happened, but i do know a quick firmware update solved me | 06:09 |
| drif | intelikey: I did remove/add cdrom module, but that didn't help | 06:09 |
| mukesh | hii | 06:09 |
| intelikey | ide | 06:09 |
| drif | well it was busy | 06:09 |
| intelikey | ide-generic most likely | 06:09 |
| drif | but I'll have another try | 06:10 |
| drif | intelikey: just cdrom ide_cd | 06:10 |
| intelikey | ok | 06:10 |
| intelikey | well the time escapes me. have to go soon... | 06:11 |
| SilentDis | drif: i'd tried everything from cold boots to fscking with the various ide drivers, to even switching where i'd plugged the drive in, no help anywhere. on a whim, i hit sony's website, grabbed the firmware update, rebooted to windows, applied the update, booted back to linux and it worked great | 06:11 |
| drif | intelikey: rmmod -f ide_cd doesn't complain but doesn't remove module either - still on list | 06:12 |
| intelikey | ;/ | 06:12 |
| intelikey | yuck | 06:12 |
| flaccid | slightly off-topic: anyone here use firefox 3 themes. im having trouble finding one that works with f3 | 06:12 |
| intelikey | modprobe -r cdrom ;modprobe -r ide-cd | 06:12 |
| drif | intelikey: module cdrom is in use | 06:13 |
| drif | tried other way around - no avail | 06:13 |
| intelikey | drif then looks like shutdown is all that's left. | 06:14 |
| drif | intelikey: yeah, just wanted to learn a way to deal without reboot | 06:15 |
| drif | intelikey: how could I see which process is using the module? | 06:15 |
| drif | if it's stalled | 06:15 |
| intelikey | yeah. one "might" find a way in hdparm but i'm not going to send you there. | 06:15 |
| drif | intelikey: how come? | 06:15 |
| intelikey | drif "how could i..." wouldn't matter you couldn't even kill it while it waits on kernel side io | 06:16 |
| intelikey | drif and it is possable that this error will cause a shutdown hang because of not being able to kill the process. | 06:16 |
| drif | I issued rmmod -f -w so it could resolve that way - atleast it won't try to use it anymore | 06:17 |
| intelikey | right. | 06:18 |
| intelikey | but it may still be waiting on it... | 06:18 |
| drif | true | 06:18 |
| intelikey | ...>add infintum>... | 06:18 |
| intelikey | err one d but who's counting... | 06:19 |
| drif | infinitum perhaps? | 06:21 |
| intelikey | :) | 06:21 |
| intelikey | might try. hdparm -L 0 -f device/node "the -U and -R options in the man page were what i had in mind actually, but you probably don't want that." | 06:26 |
| drif | intelikey: thanks. | 06:26 |

| Daisuke_Laptop | absolutely | 06:44 |
| connor | good god | 06:44 |
| connor | why? | 06:44 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | some people aren't on very often, and just reply when they're around | 06:44 |
| connor | oh ok | 06:44 |
| connor | anyways | 06:44 |
| SilentDis | real life > irc :) | 06:44 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | so what's the problem? | 06:44 |
| connor | i need to navigate to $HOME/.conkyrc | 06:44 |
| connor | how can i? | 06:44 |
| connor | im trying to configurate conky | 06:45 |
| connor | how can i navigate to $HOME/.conkyrc | 06:45 |
| connor | i havent used ubuntu in forever | 06:45 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | .conkyrc is a config file i would imaging | 06:45 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | imagine | 06:45 |
| SilentDis | connor: type this into a prompt: cd ~/.conkyrc | 06:45 |
| SilentDis | if it's a file, you can edit it with nano ~/.conkyrc | 06:45 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | if that doesn't work, try this: kate ~/.conkyrc | 06:45 |
| connor | cd ~/ | 06:46 |
| connor | got me bash: cd: /home/connor/.conkyrc: Not a directory | 06:46 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | or nano. or vi if you're the antichrist. or emacs if you have 23 fingers available | 06:46 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | then it's just a config file | 06:46 |
| SilentDis | Daisuke_Laptop: roflmao at vi/emacs comments :) | 06:46 |
| connor | i dont get it | 06:46 |
| connor | explain? | 06:46 |

| Daisuke_Laptop | only satan himself would know how everything works first try | 06:47 |
| connor | lol | 06:47 |
| connor | whats emacs | 06:47 |
| SilentDis | connor: you're trying to edit the file ~/.conkyrc. open your favorite text editor (be it kate, gedit, nano, emacs, vi, whatever) and open ~/.conkyrc | 06:47 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | and emacs is notorious for extensive keyboard shortcuts | 06:47 |

| Pramod | ok flaccid | 07:37 |
| Pramod | Well in the mean time... can anyone tell me how i install a debian package in The Remix version of Kubuntu? :S | 07:38 |
| flaccid | !apt | Pramod | 07:38 |
| ubottu | Pramod: APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome) or !Adept (KDE) | 07:38 |
| Dr_willis | same as you install any other debian package.. but its best to use the package maanger to download/install things. | 07:38 |
| flaccid | his adept is broke. Pramod read the above guide - its basically sudo apt-get install package_name | 07:39 |
| flaccid | Pramod: please run this command: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get install --reinstall adept adept-batch adept-common adept-installer adept-manager adept-notifier adept-updater | 07:39 |
| Pramod | ok | 07:39 |
| flaccid | Pramod: if you don't see any errors, then try starting adept manager with: kdesudo adept_manager | 07:41 |
| Pramod | ok | 07:43 |
| Pramod | am installing the adpet now... | 07:43 |

| Pramod | ok... | 07:46 |
| Pramod | :s | 07:46 |
| flaccid | Pramod: make a comment on the bug and advise you are still having the problem with the lastest adept and provide your adept version which is 2.1.3ubuntu25 | 07:47 |
| Pramod | ok... | 07:47 |
| flaccid | Pramod: not sure if that is available in the gui yet. try #kubuntu-kde4 and #kde | 07:47 |

| JoshOvki | leonid: kde 3 is not up to 3.5.9 | 08:39 |
| JoshOvki | shan: i dont quite understand what you are trying to install | 08:39 |
| JoshOvki | hellhound: kde3 or 4? | 08:39 |

| JoshOvki | hellhound: not sure sorry, i use kde4 and never had to do it with kde3 | 08:41 |

| hellhound | JoshOvki: I am sure that is the problem... but I cannot figure out how to reload my apps such as kopete , kontact, apt manager, etc... if I run those applications it still will not load the icons | 08:43 |
| hellhound | JoshOvki: even if I remove teh applet and then reinstall it.. it is still the same | 08:44 |
| o0Chris0o | hellhound: have you tried sudo apt-get kde-desktop | 08:44 |
| o0Chris0o | that seems to work sometimes | 08:45 |
| hellhound | o0Chris0o: i get "invalid operation kde-desktop | 08:45 |
| o0Chris0o | I think thats the right name | 08:46 |
| o0Chris0o | let me check | 08:46 |
| flaccid | the package is named kubuntu-desktop | 08:46 |
| su-hoens`rZ | is anyone ever going to fix the libboost dependencies? | 08:48 |
| hellhound | i have the dektop package | 08:48 |
| o0Chris0o | yah what flaccid said | 08:49 |
| o0Chris0o | :) | 08:49 |
| jussi01 | su-hoens`rZ: have you made a bug report? | 08:50 |
| jussi01 | su-hoens`rZ: if you dont report the bug, it will never get fixed... | 08:50 |
| o0Chris0o | hellhound: after it installs, it probably wouldn't hurt to restart your system and see if that helps | 08:51 |
| hellhound | o0Chris0o: i have tried that... i mean it always comes back even when I just logg off and then back on... but I do not want to have to do that each time. I can also kill kopete and kontact and then restart them and the icons will come back... but i wish there was a way to restart it... killing kicker and restarting it does not help | 08:52 |
| o0Chris0o | try deleting the toolbar | 08:53 |
| o0Chris0o | and making a new one | 08:54 |
| hellhound | o0Chris0o: and do that each time this happens? | 08:54 |
| crazy_bus | since the edubuntu addon installer works on regular ubuntu. Can it also work on regular kubuntu. Or do you also have to download the normal ubuntu install cd | 08:54 |
| o0Chris0o | no, try it to see if it works | 08:54 |
| hellhound | o0Chris0o: it would be easier to just log off and then log back in. | 08:54 |
| o0Chris0o | have you checked launchpad for bug reports? | 08:54 |
| o0Chris0o | hellhound: what version of kde do you use? | 08:55 |
| dhq | my ctrl+w doesnt work in konqueror | 08:56 |
| o0Chris0o | try resetting the default settings? | 08:56 |
| dhq | i did that no use | 08:57 |
| hellhound | o0Chris0o: kde 3 | 08:57 |
| hellhound | o0Chris0o: 3.5.9 to be exact | 08:58 |
| o0Chris0o | hellhound: I would try searching http://bugs.kde.org/ I just googled kde system tray bugs and a few sound similar | 09:01 |
| o0Chris0o | could be bug fixes | 09:01 |
| o0Chris0o | do you have compiz installed and enabled? | 09:01 |
| su-hoens`rZ | can someone explain to me how to install libboost-signals-dev | 09:04 |
| o0Chris0o | sudo apt-get libboost-signals-dev | 09:04 |
| su-hoens`rZ | yes if it were that simple | 09:05 |
| su-hoens`rZ | The following packages have unmet dependencies: | 09:05 |
| su-hoens`rZ | libboost-signals-dev: Depends: libboost-dev (= 1.33.1-9ubuntu3.1) but 1.34.1-4ubuntu3 is to be installed | 09:05 |
| su-hoens`rZ | and that's for aLL of the dev libboost packages, except for libboost-dev | 09:05 |
| su-hoens`rZ | which is really starting to get irritating | 09:05 |
| o0Chris0o | so you got the latest? | 09:05 |
| su-hoens`rZ | i guess | 09:05 |
| o0Chris0o | why do you want the other then | 09:05 |
| su-hoens`rZ | because another program depends upon the dev packages? | 09:06 |
| su-hoens`rZ | and i can't install them | 09:06 |
| su-hoens`rZ | and i'm getting super frustrated | 09:06 |
| o0Chris0o | hmm | 09:06 |
| o0Chris0o | I don't think you can install both | 09:06 |

| tuanpham | there is any one know how to play .3gp file in kubuntu ? | 10:22 |
| JoshOvki | prateek: it opened fine | 10:22 |
| prateek | http://www.orkut.com/Profile.aspx?uid=1616918866211158258 | 10:22 |
| prateek | this thing | 10:22 |
| JoshOvki | tuanpham: try vlc | 10:22 |
| Giant_Speck | It does lock up Konqueror. | 10:23 |
| Giant_Speck | Just tried it. | 10:23 |
| JoshOvki | prateek: doesnt lock up mine either | 10:23 |
| prateek | Giant_Speck: freezed! | 10:23 |
| jussi01 | TimS: completely removes | 10:23 |
| prateek | JoshOvki: Kubuntu 7.10 Beta? | 10:23 |
| TimS | Ok | 10:23 |
| prateek | Giant_Speck: ur browser freezed..is it responding | 10:24 |
| tuanpham | thank | 10:24 |
| TimS | I've purged, now I reinstall | 10:24 |
| JoshOvki | prateek: kubuntu hardy with kde4 | 10:24 |
| Giant_Speck | The site freezes in Konqueror, but loads perfectly in Firefox. | 10:24 |
| jussi01 | Does anyone know how to disable the system speaker? | 10:24 |
| JoshOvki | 8.04 | 10:24 |
| prateek | Giant_Speck: yup! dats a BUG! | 10:24 |
| jussi01 | TimS: correct | 10:24 |
| Jucato | jussi01: system beep in Konsole? | 10:24 |
| TimS | Nope :( | 10:24 |
| prateek | JoshOvki: urs has bugs removed...i need to update.. | 10:25 |
| Giant_Speck | I think it's because Flash doesn't work too well in Konqueror, IMO. | 10:25 |
| prateek | Giant_Speck: its no flash... | 10:25 |
| prateek | its something far more complex..orkut takes data from other servers | 10:25 |
| jussi01 | Jucato: no, the sytem speaker keeps being used for random stuff - ie startup sounds, a really annoying beep when playing pioneers etc | 10:25 |
| Giant_Speck | And maybe Konqueror can't handle the complexity of it. | 10:26 |
| Jucato | startup sounds? :O | 10:26 |
| Giant_Speck | It doesn't support it yet. | 10:26 |
| prateek | http://www.orkut.com/Profile.aspx?uid=1616918866211158258 | 10:26 |
| prateek | Dont open it | 10:26 |
| prateek | Giant_Speck: thanks man...now i have lesser regrets for shifting to Kubuntu | 10:26 |
| Jucato | it's not like we can open it w/o an orkut account :) | 10:27 |
| prateek | Jucato: :) | 10:27 |
| Giant_Speck | Yeah. If you plan on using that website frequently, you may want to install Firefox instead. | 10:27 |
| prateek | Giant_Speck: but see i have heard that to install firefox i need to get lot of dependencies too so my system will clutter up and may become slow and unstable | 10:28 |
| Jucato | not true | 10:28 |
| Giant_Speck | sudo apt-get install firefox | 10:29 |
| Giant_Speck | That's it. | 10:29 |
| Giant_Speck | Nothing else to it, really. | 10:29 |
| prateek | dont we have to get Gnome for it... | 10:29 |
| prateek | or GTK | 10:29 |
| Giant_Speck | Though, if you are using Kubuntu, shouldn't Firefox already be installed? | 10:29 |
| scarygary | I'm back.. | 10:29 |
| prateek | or something starting from G | 10:29 |
| scarygary | What did i miss.. | 10:29 |
| Jucato | prateek: you won't get GNOME for it | 10:29 |
| Jucato | prateek: and GTK is not that much | 10:29 |
| prateek | Jucato: GTK is equivalent to .NET? | 10:30 |
| Giant_Speck | Firefox is a GTK program, but will definitely run in KDE. | 10:30 |
| Jucato | prateek: um.. no | 10:30 |
| prateek | then | 10:30 |
| Jucato | (wherever did you get that idea?) | 10:30 |
| prateek | is it as enviroment itself? | 10:30 |
| Jucato | no | 10:30 |
| prateek | then is it like JAVA? | 10:31 |
| neoz | scuse me,i'm a italian newb. | 10:31 |
| Jucato | no | 10:31 |
| Jucato | it's a toolkit/library, like Qt, which KDE uses | 10:31 |
| Giant_Speck | Correct me if I am wrong, please, but GTK programs are designed for the GNOME desktop environment and KDE programs are designed for the KDE desktop environment. | 10:31 |
| Jucato | it's not like Java or .NET | 10:31 |
| Jucato | Giant_Speck: not necessarily | 10:31 |
| prateek | Giant_Speck: Yes thats less confusing | 10:31 |
| Jucato | there are GTK apps that are not designed for GNOME | 10:31 |
| prateek | Jucato: then what it can it be compared too | 10:31 |
| prateek | i think PidGin uses GTK too | 10:32 |
| Jucato | GNOME uses the GTK+ toolkit. KDE uses the Qt toolkit | 10:32 |
| Jucato | Pidgin, GIMP, Inkscape | 10:32 |
| scarygary | I didn't mean login management btw.. | 10:32 |
| Jucato | they all use GTK+ | 10:32 |
| scarygary | I meant user management. | 10:32 |
| Giant_Speck | And they will run on Kubuntu. | 10:32 |
| Jucato | scarygary: just as I thought. kuser-kde4 then | 10:32 |
| scarygary | I don't have that on my system?! | 10:33 |
| Jucato | then install it :) | 10:33 |
| Jucato | !info kuser-kde4 | 10:33 |
| ubottu | kuser-kde4 (source: kdeadmin-kde4): KDE 4 user/group administration tool. In component universe, is optional. Version 4:4.0.3-0ubuntu2 (hardy), package size 195 kB, installed size 668 kB | 10:33 |
| prateek | Giant_Speck: just tell me if i want to just get the package downloded and not install it, what command am i gonna type...for firefox | 10:33 |
| JoshOvki | neoz: you may want to try #kubuntu-it | 10:33 |
| Giant_Speck | prateek: to install Firefox? | 10:33 |
| Giant_Speck | Oh, wait. | 10:34 |
| scarygary | Ahh.. I figured it was part of kde4, but ok. I'll install it . | 10:34 |
| Giant_Speck | You just want the package, but you don't want to install it? | 10:34 |
| prateek | Giant_Speck: so that i can install it on a Internet-Less PC too | 10:34 |
| Giant_Speck | You'd have to check the Mozilla website for a downloadable version of Firefox. | 10:34 |
| Jucato | !aptoncd | 10:35 |
| ubottu | APTonCD is a tool with a graphical interface which allows you to create one or more CDs or DVDs with all of the packages you've downloaded via apt-get or aptitude, creating a removable repository that you can use on other computers | 10:35 |

| The_ManU_212 | arecord: pcm_read:1347: Lesefehler: Input/output error | 10:36 |
| The_ManU_212 | i cant record from mic | 10:36 |
| The_ManU_212 | i use hardy heron | 10:36 |
| The_ManU_212 | it seems to be a bug becasue audacity also doesnt work?! | 10:36 |
| scarygary | kuser worked great, but i still can't enable passwordless logins in kdm | 10:37 |
| Giant_Speck | Jucato: So basically, that program takes the packages you already have on your computer and allows you to put them on a CD or DVD so that you can install the programs on another computer with Ubuntu (or Kubuntu, Xubuntu, etc.) without needing the internet to get the packages? | 10:37 |
| scarygary | I checked the enable password-less logins in the Login manager, but no go. | 10:37 |
| jussi01 | Giant_Speck: yep | 10:37 |
| Giant_Speck | That's rather nifty. | 10:37 |
| jussi01 | Giant_Speck: it basically create a repository on the cd | 10:38 |
| Giant_Speck | Therefore you can install a program on a computer that does not have internet access, given that you have all the dependencies required for the intsallation of that program. | 10:39 |
| Giant_Speck | installation* | 10:40 |
| harolddong | is there a reason why, since updating to 4.04, that some qt4 apps seem to use my my qt3 color theme and others dont? | 10:40 |
| jussi01 | Giant_Speck: correct, and apt on cd should help get the deps also | 10:41 |
| Kanashimi | Hello there, I'm trying out the 8.04 KDE4 Mix version. I accidentally ended up removing the taskbar widget from the bottom panel and now all the others are on the wrong side. Is there a way to just move them? Right clicking, dragging or what not doesn't seem to work. | 10:50 |
| jussi01 | Kanashimi: no there isnt atm. if you join #kubuntu-kde4 Ill give you some more info | 10:50 |
| Kanashimi | Hum, alright. | 10:52 |

| godlyserver | is it normal rfor a comp to run a lot hotter on linux than XP ? | 12:06 |
| JoshOvki | godlyserver: my pc usualy runs cooler | 12:06 |
| godlyserver | its a acer aspire notebook aaall seems to run ok but really hot near the cd/ram | 12:06 |
| JoshOvki | i switch to XPfor the winter to help heat the place | 12:06 |
| godlyserver | lol | 12:06 |
| xsacha | godlyserver: that would probably mean that it is using more electricity | 12:07 |
| xsacha | try running intel's PowerTop to see what is sucking up all your power | 12:07 |
| godlyserver | amd | 12:07 |
| xsacha | it can give really good suggestions | 12:07 |
| xsacha | it's a program made by intel, works on all computers godlyserver | 12:07 |
| godlyserver | submerge in cooking oil | 12:07 |
| godlyserver | ok great than you | 12:08 |
| === doom_ is now known as DOOM_NX | ||
| xsacha | they just released a latencytop as well | 12:08 |
| xsacha | nice little linux programs with very good suggestions :) | 12:08 |
| godlyserver | oki doki | 12:08 |
| xsacha | do the suggestions it tells you and your notebook should be running cool and battery life going way up | 12:09 |
| xsacha | someone on here before said they went from 3 hour battery life to 8 hour or something | 12:09 |
| xsacha | they had to recompile kernel too though | 12:09 |
| mandje | where can i find kubuntu 7.10 cd images? | 12:10 |
| xsacha | you want to downgrade to 7.10? | 12:10 |
| xsacha | 7.10 will still be on every mirrors http and ftp | 12:10 |
| JoshOvki | mandje: why do you want to downgrade? | 12:11 |
| mandje | its for use with linuxmce 7.10 | 12:12 |
| JoshOvki | mandje: what country are you in? | 12:13 |
| xsacha | US for example: http://ubuntu-releases.cs.umn.edu/kubuntu/7.10/ | 12:13 |
| JoshOvki | UK is http://ubuntu.virginmedia.com/releases/kubuntu/gutsy/ | 12:13 |
| mandje | JoshOvki: holland but tnx i got it already.. | 12:13 |
| mandje | yeah nl.releases. etc. | 12:13 |
| JoshOvki | kk | 12:13 |
| JoshOvki | :) | 12:13 |
| xsacha | i think every mirror has all releases back to 6.06 | 12:14 |
| JoshOvki | yeh | 12:14 |
| JoshOvki | just support will stop for it | 12:14 |
| mandje | it's just the download pages on the kubuntu site don't give you all the version options. | 12:14 |
| mandje | just 8.04 and 6.06 | 12:15 |
| JoshOvki | mandje: http://nl.releases.ubuntu.com/releases/kubuntu/7.10/ still has it but you need to change the URL | 12:15 |
| neoz | hi | 12:15 |
| neoz | scuse me | 12:15 |
| JoshOvki | hi neoz | 12:16 |
| godlyserver | thank you xsacha i will give it a go as everything is way cooler apart from one section i guess its the ram | 12:16 |
| neoz | don't speak engl. | 12:16 |
| neoz | italian? | 12:16 |
| JoshOvki | !it | 12:16 |
| ubottu | Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! | 12:16 |
| mandje | JoshOvki: the url which starts the download coz the page is ok | 12:16 |
| neoz | !it | 12:16 |
| xsacha | godlyserver: hot ram? :\.. more likely the cpu, videocard or harddrive.. something using a lot of electricity anyway | 12:17 |
| neoz | in the italian channel can't help | 12:17 |
| neoz | can i ask the quest? | 12:18 |
| helowo | This sounds dumb, but via a GUI, how does one create a new user? | 12:18 |
| JoshOvki | neoz: ask in the best english you can | 12:18 |
| helowo | I swear, there's something broken about kuser | 12:18 |
| neoz | ok | 12:18 |
| JoshOvki | helowo: kde3 or 4? | 12:19 |
| helowo | either, actually | 12:19 |
| godlyserver | ok just installing the powertop lets find out | 12:19 |
| JoshOvki | i will let you know in kde3 (once ive booted my desktop) | 12:19 |
| JoshOvki | because im not 100% sure in kde4 | 12:19 |
| * JoshOvki is worried about his HD | 12:20 | |
| helowo | as in HDD? something RW heads sticking to platters? | 12:21 |
| JoshOvki | helowo: doesnt sound like that, sounds like a bearing going | 12:21 |
| neoz | could tell me how I install my terratec phase 24 firewire on ubuntu ? only you can help me | 12:21 |
| helowo | haha, i have a laptop to my left I just got done doing data recovery on so that's funny | 12:21 |
| xsacha | <-- has never had or seen a computer with firewire before except macs | 12:22 |
| helowo | bad hdd, corrupted data.. carved out some jpg files... all that fun | 12:22 |
| * helowo is on a laptop with a firewire port | 12:22 | |
| helowo | it's a dell inspiron 9300 | 12:22 |
| helowo | most laptops have then that i see.. except ultra business class dell's etc | 12:23 |
| JoshOvki | helowo: do you have Users and Groupd in System? | 12:23 |
| helowo | no | 12:24 |
| helowo | I hit ctrl+f2 and found kusers.. but tha's cumbersom to use (and apparently broken) | 12:24 |
| helowo | *cumbersome | 12:24 |
| JoshOvki | always make one by command line | 12:24 |
| xsacha | it takes about 5 seconds max by commandline | 12:25 |
| xsacha | i mean there's not even any options you need to set | 12:25 |
| xsacha | just user and pass | 12:25 |
| helowo | ... i swear, it's like nothing works in kde. I've been trying to get stuff going for 3 weeks now lol | 12:25 |
| JoshOvki | lol | 12:26 |
| JoshOvki | plenty works for me | 12:26 |
| xsacha | no probs here | 12:26 |
| helowo | ....right. | 12:26 |
| xsacha | kopete is crashing in my kde4 but other than that all good | 12:26 |
| JoshOvki | just need to be flexiable | 12:26 |
| xsacha | using different im | 12:26 |
| helowo | do me a favour, run kuser-kde4 | 12:26 |
| helowo | does that work? | 12:27 |
| xsacha | no such file | 12:27 |
| neoz | mine is a personal computer and I need know how the card is installed. | 12:27 |
| xsacha | helowo: i need to install kuser-kde4, hang on | 12:28 |
| JoshOvki | works here | 12:28 |
| xsacha | just a note: having a gui for creating a username & password is probably the last thing on everyones todo list | 12:28 |
| xsacha | its just one commandline | 12:28 |
| helowo | see, after a few weeks at this, i've found that nobody actually uses the GUI at all. | 12:28 |
| JoshOvki | i use the GUI a fair bit, just i can go over to command line when i need to | 12:29 |
| xsacha | adduser sacha <-- in a terminal, is that too hard? | 12:29 |
| xsacha | you need a GUI for this? please | 12:29 |
| helowo | xsacha, not sure how to take that | 12:29 |
| xsacha | thats it.. adduser then the name | 12:29 |
| JoshOvki | xsacha: sudo first correct? | 12:30 |
| helowo | see, this appears to be the problem with linux atm. | 12:30 |
| xsacha | yeah | 12:30 |
| helowo | nobody actually sees a need for a gui | 12:30 |
| helowo | gui is intuitive | 12:30 |
| xsacha | helowo: well the thing is that the GUI actually exists | 12:30 |
| xsacha | but anyone with a clue knows they dont need it | 12:30 |
| xsacha | but the gui is there and it works fine | 12:30 |
| xsacha | ill screenshot it for you | 12:30 |
| JoshOvki | helowo: open terminal and run sudo /usr/lib/kde4/bin/kuser see if it works | 12:31 |
| xsacha | yeah works fine | 12:31 |
| helowo | *sigh*... i don't know why i get such hostility about stuff that doesn't work | 12:31 |
| xsacha | it does work :P | 12:31 |
| helowo | sudo /usr/lib/kde4/bin/kuser is what i'm running | 12:31 |
| xsacha | well you have done something weird im guessin? | 12:31 |
| JoshOvki | how was i ment to know that? no error messages in terminal | 12:31 |
| xsacha | do you get an error? | 12:31 |
| helowo | no, i create a user | 12:32 |
| helowo | i click apply | 12:32 |
| neoz | thank you bye | 12:32 |
| xsacha | helowo: http://img385.imageshack.us/img385/6397/userra0.png | 12:32 |
| helowo | i look at what's created, and it has a.) no groups selected b.) no UID c.) the password is blank d.) no home dir is created... etc | 12:32 |
| helowo | something's wonkey | 12:32 |
| xsacha | helowo: sounds fine to me | 12:33 |
| neoz | xsacha i can ask you? | 12:33 |
| xsacha | helowo: no groups by default, uid it does have, just next in line, home dir is associated but not created, password can be created by the user | 12:33 |
| xsacha | neoz: i dont know answer sorry, i dont know any machines with firewire :( | 12:34 |
| helowo | no, password is set | 12:34 |
| helowo | then it goes blank | 12:34 |
| helowo | it's a god damned bug | 12:34 |
| JoshOvki | helowo: if you press reload does it show up? | 12:34 |
| neoz | xsacha another channel for this? | 12:34 |
| xsacha | helowo: are you sure you are running it as sudo? | 12:34 |
| helowo | no, good q josh | 12:34 |
| JoshOvki | helowo: post a god dab bug report then | 12:34 |
| xsacha | neoz: #linux | 12:34 |
| helowo | well, see as xsacha said, nobody cares | 12:34 |
| helowo | i'm just some stupid user for wanting a gui | 12:34 |
| helowo | this seems futile | 12:35 |
| helowo | if there's a hostile, anti-social dick faced attitude about a good user experience then f* it then | 12:35 |
| xsacha | helowo: the end aim is to have a GUI for everything but there are more important things right now | 12:35 |
| JoshOvki | did hitting reload make it show up? | 12:35 |
| helowo | 3 weeks of effort for vaporware | 12:35 |
| xsacha | helowo: the GUI works for me | 12:35 |
| xsacha | helowo: you just have to submit a bug report if it doesnt work for you and wait for fix | 12:35 |
| === izz is now known as izz2 | ||
| xsacha | helowo: either that, or fix yourself if you can code | 12:35 |
| xsacha | helowo: at the moment there is a very simple workaround, so thats why it wont be fixed instantly (you can just type `adduser name') | 12:36 |
| xsacha | im not sure if there even is a bug or maybe you just didnt type sudo | 12:36 |
| helowo | xsacha, you can't read | 12:36 |
| helowo | i'm setting you to ignore | 12:37 |
| helowo | you have issues tonight or something | 12:37 |
| helowo | you've been helpful in the past, and friendly | 12:37 |
| xsacha | ?! | 12:37 |
| helowo | and right now, idk wtheck | 12:37 |
| xsacha | i read it | 12:37 |
| JoshOvki | helowo: being rude is not a way to get help | 12:37 |
| helowo | xsacha is being rude, not me | 12:37 |
| helowo | read back | 12:37 |
| xsacha | twice | 12:37 |
| xsacha | im using the same distro as you. it works here. its not a random app, it should work the same everywhere. it's a very simple role that the app fills (one line in console). | 12:38 |
| JoshOvki | helowo: i dont see how he is being rude by suggesting a very simple work around that is using terminal | 12:38 |
| helowo | if your mentality is "[04:28] <xsacha> just a note: having a gui for creating a username & password is probably the last thing on everyones todo list" and "[04:29] <xsacha> you need a GUI for this? please" then just leave me alone. i don't need to be bullied, i need some advise | 12:38 |
| xsacha | while the aim is to have every role filled by a GUI. if there is a bug, it wont be fixed instantly as there are more important ones. just warning you about this | 12:39 |
| helowo | right, well your attitude was very clear 6 minutes ago | 12:39 |
| helowo | i don't appreciate it | 12:39 |
| helowo | this isn't my own selfish want | 12:39 |
| helowo | i'm trying to get things working for avg end users | 12:39 |
| JoshOvki | helowo: but helowo he is right, you dont need a gui to do that. If there is a bug, post a bug report | 12:39 |
| helowo | your presumptuousness is astounding | 12:39 |
| xsacha | what im saying is you can wait til this is fixed. you dont NEED the GUI. theres a very simple workaround in the meanwhile | 12:40 |
| helowo | yeah, i've already done the bug report thing | 12:40 |
| helowo | the mentality appears, as you say, that it's low priority | 12:40 |
| helowo | i only mentioned it here because using kuser seemed wrong annd i wanted to double check | 12:40 |
| xsacha | im not the one who fixes bugs. im just explaining to you that it will be low priority | 12:40 |
| helowo | (ie there might be some wizard i missed etc) | 12:40 |
| xsacha | yeah we installed and tested the app and it worked as expected here. asked if you used sudo or not | 12:41 |
| helowo | well, ya'll could read "How to win friends and influence people" by dale carnegie or something.. dang. | 12:41 |
| JoshOvki | ok, lets just chill here | 12:41 |
| helowo | i really, sincerely am trying to | 12:41 |
| helowo | and xsacha, weren't we talking rather cordially in compiz-fusion just yesterday? | 12:42 |
| JoshOvki | helowo: what happens when you press reload, does the user showup? what i noticed when i created on with it it made a dupilcate ID, that needs to be changed to a uniqe one | 12:42 |
| xsacha | yeah, i had the same attitude then as i do now too | 12:42 |
| * helowo added xsacha!* to your ignore list. | 12:43 | |
| helowo | good q josh0vki, i did try manually changing it afterward | 12:43 |
| helowo | /refresh | 12:43 |
| helowo | no go | 12:43 |
| xsacha | ... | 12:44 |
| xsacha | lol, you asked that question 3 times josh. he decided to read what we were responding now. *sigh* wonder why he went off at me | 12:44 |
| helowo | it appears a bit broken and so long as ther's not an alternative (i could have sworn i'd used something else a bit ago... might be thinking of a different DE) then I guess I'll need to set these things up ahead or train others about using a command line... | 12:44 |
| xsacha | JoshOvki: tell him he doesnt need to use a commandline for one-liners, you can run them in application launcher like krunner (alt+f2) | 12:45 |
| xsacha | if it really is a barrier for staff | 12:46 |
| helowo | josh0vki: can I pm you rather briefly? | 12:47 |
| JoshOvki | helowo: aslong as it is not to complain about xsacha | 12:48 |
| helowo | no | 12:48 |
| JoshOvki | sure | 12:48 |
| JoshOvki | xsacha: its an option, i can just see him agreeing to using it | 12:49 |
| wirechief-intel | helowo see item 5 http://www.linux.com/articles/54945 | 12:49 |
| helowo | that's a nify article wirechief-intel | 12:52 |
| helowo | it's probably not 100% germane to the issue i'm facing, but handy nonetheless | 12:53 |
| JoshOvki | anyway i gotta head off | 12:54 |
| helowo | alright, josh0vki, i tried pm you then realised i wasn't logged in so nm | 12:54 |
| JoshOvki | lol ok | 12:55 |
| helowo | it was a longwinded apology of sorts, not worth repeating | 12:55 |
| helowo | thanks for the effort to help just the same | 12:55 |
| JoshOvki | helowo: sorry we couldnt come to the bottom of the problem | 12:55 |
| JoshOvki | catch ya all later | 12:55 |
| helowo | yeah, cya | 12:55 |

| brazh | hi. could anyone help me about icq-clients? i tried Kopete, sim and licq. licq seems to be best choice for me of these, but i haven't seen clients, which will have the same functionality as qip | 13:51 |
| pjfloyd | is the console in kubuntu simply broken? | 13:52 |
| xsacha | brazh: i dont use ICQ. what functionality is it you want? | 13:52 |
| xsacha | pjfloyd: dont think so.. im using kde4 version so i cant say for sure. but you'd hear a roar of complaints if console didnt work :\ | 13:53 |
| pjfloyd | this is with kde4 | 13:53 |
| pjfloyd | I'm not saying it doesn't work | 13:53 |
| pjfloyd | just that it doesn't work _right_ | 13:54 |
| xsacha | oh ok, well kde4 comes with 2 konsoles.. | 13:54 |
| xsacha | one based on qt3 and another based on qt4.. which one isnt working properly? | 13:54 |
| pjfloyd | nothing! not even xterm | 13:54 |
| xsacha | so "echo hi" doesnt work? | 13:54 |
| brazh | xsacha: i need a program, which will allow me to edit my contact list without bugs, has notifications like licq (qip), has plugins | 13:54 |
| pjfloyd | ctrl-z doesn't work | 13:55 |
| xsacha | brazh: have you tried licq on kubuntu? | 13:55 |
| xsacha | pjfloyd: they are all working here :\ | 13:56 |
| pjfloyd | nor ctrl-d not ctrl-c | 13:56 |
| xsacha | pjfloyd: is this just straight after install, none of the konsoles working? or have you done some stuff? | 13:56 |
| brazh | xsacha: i've already said that i'd tried Kopete, sim and licq. now i'm using licq, but it is terrible action to edit contact list because of bugs! | 13:57 |
| xsacha | oh ok | 13:57 |
| pjfloyd | Installed 7.10, upgraded to 8.04, added a few packages, but otherwise, haven't done much | 13:57 |
| xsacha | pjfloyd: ahh, the upgrade path might have done it | 13:57 |
| xsacha | unexpected things can happen in upgrades | 13:57 |
| xsacha | brazh: ow ok. what version are you using? licq --version i think | 13:58 |
| GTS | Could some1 help me | 13:58 |
| === GTS is now known as nathanmarck | ||
| xsacha | brazh: are you on KDE4 because there is a Qt4 version of licq now that isnt in kubuntu by default | 13:58 |
| xsacha | its a different GUI, so it might not have the contact list bug? | 13:59 |
| brazh | xsacha: last version - 1.3.5. no, i use kubuntu 8.04 with kde 3.5.9 | 13:59 |
| xsacha | ok | 13:59 |
| nathanmarck | Could someone help me: ive downloaded kubuntu and im getting this weird thing on the screen its like all weird screen is messed up almost impossible to see what im doing | 14:00 |

| === jussipekka__ is now known as jussipekka | ||
| xsacha | actualyl nvm, i think it only does jabber sorry | 14:01 |
| xsacha | Xanatos: you can run kde3 applications on kde4 | 14:01 |
| Dr_willis | Xanatos, the kdm login screen has a session for each one. | 14:02 |
| xsacha | alternatively, you can have a kde3 and a kde4 environment installed and alternate between them using a session manager | 14:02 |
| xsacha | (kdm) | 14:02 |
| Xanatos | ah alright, thats what i'm after, thanks | 14:02 |
| Dr_willis | kde4 is still very much a work in progress | 14:02 |
| Xanatos | yeah, but it has some nice features, just want to give it a test run | 14:03 |
| xsacha | brazh: i think anything that runs jabber can connect to icq | 14:03 |
| brazh | xsacha: really? | 14:04 |
| xsacha | using XMPP | 14:04 |
| xsacha | brazh: read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jabber#Connecting_to_other_protocols | 14:04 |
| xsacha | brazh: also, pidgin can do icq | 14:04 |
| brazh | xsacha: thanks | 14:05 |
| xsacha | brazh: basically, create jabber account, connect to a jabber->icq gateway and provide it with your ICQ login and then you have ICQ. | 14:07 |
| xsacha | (if you cant find a good icq client) | 14:08 |
| BluesKaj | howdy | 14:08 |
| brazh | xsacha: ok. but it seems like running on crutches :) | 14:09 |
| xsacha | a lot of new IMs are doing this thing with supporting Jabber only | 14:10 |
| xsacha | since jabber can communicate to other protocols using a gateway. they give an example of each protocol on their website. here's the ICQ one: | 14:11 |
| xsacha | For ICQ, the format is 'UIN@icq.gateway'. For example, if your UIN of your friend is '1277851', then his translated Jabber � ID is: '1277851@icq.gateway' | 14:11 |
| xsacha | im guessing that means you'd have to add ALL of your friends to your jabber account though :( | 14:11 |
| brazh | xsacha: mmm... :( | 14:12 |
| splodger15 | hello , I would like to install this theme: http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php/Die+Hard+4.0+-+Matthew+Farrel's+theme+(E?content=66714 but I am not sure on how to do it has anyone got any advice on how to do it thanks in advance | 14:13 |
| xsacha | brazh: does pidgin work for you? | 14:13 |
| xsacha | splodger15: that is an emerald theme. it only works with compiz-fusion | 14:14 |
| xsacha | splodger15: if you use compiz-fusion, open up emerald-theme-manager and then click Import and then open that file | 14:14 |
| brazh | xsacha: i haven't try pidgin yet | 14:15 |
| xsacha | brazh: just a note that gmail is a jabber-enabled service | 14:21 |

| gokhan_ | hi | 14:52 |

| Nyad | Hi. I just installed slackware and I didn't install a LILO for it. How do I make my grub on kubuntu pick up slack? | 14:55 |
| xsacha | edit the menu.lst in /boot/grub/ | 14:56 |
| xsacha | or run the autoupdate | 14:57 |
| Nyad | what is this autoupdate? where? | 14:57 |
| Nyad | sounds interesting | 14:57 |
| xsacha | Nyad: sudo update-grub | 14:58 |
| Nyad | tnx | 14:59 |
| Nyad | xsacha: my menu.lst file doesn't have any evidence slack anywhere. Did I need to install LILO on the slack partition? | 15:01 |
| Nyad | or make it bootable? | 15:01 |
| xsacha | wont need lilo. if it is installed, it should already be bootable | 15:02 |
| xsacha | update-grub didnt pick up slack? | 15:02 |
| xsacha | it wont call it slack, but maybe Other Linux Distribution? | 15:02 |
| crazy_bus | how exactly do I get more than one desktop in compiz. Selecting more than 1 in the kicker pager does nothing. And compizconfig won't let me select more than one | 15:02 |
| Nyad | nothing, just ubuntu and windows. also the kernel for my slack is 2.6.21 so I would easily notice it but no luck | 15:03 |
| Nyad | perhaps I should do it manually | 15:03 |
| Odd-rationale | crazy_bus: in the compizconfig, go to general options and in the desktop size tab, set the horizontal=4, vertical=1, and No. of desktops=1 | 15:03 |
| xsacha | Nyad: menu.lst is easy enough to edit manually | 15:04 |
| darkwolf | hey everyone, I have Vmware Server Console Version 1.0.5; is this the latest version available for Kubuntu? | 15:04 |
| crazy_bus | Odd-rationale: I did that and now I have two wide desktops on kicker. But they don't work when I click on them | 15:05 |
| Odd-rationale | crazy_bus: you set hor=4, ver=1 and no.or desktops =1 ? | 15:06 |
| Dr_willis | some times the ccsm tool settings dont always get read/used for me under kde. | 15:06 |
| crazy_bus | Odd-rationale: yes | 15:07 |
| Odd-rationale | crazy_bus: if you use ctrl+alt+left-mouse-button-hold-and-move-mouse-around do you have a cube? | 15:08 |
| Nyad | xsacha: my partition is sdb5, what would I put in menu.lst for that? | 15:08 |
| Dr_willis | a 2 sided cube :) | 15:08 |

| Dr_willis | Sneedley, i forget the exact location to the tool. its called like 'hardware driver maanger' or somthing in the menus | 15:18 |
| BluesKaj | Jucato, ok , I followed this tutorial , but the result wasn't as predicted, http://linuxpoison.blogspot.com/2008/05/install-google-earth-on-linux.html, | 15:18 |
| crazy_bus | Odd-rationale: found it now | 15:18 |

| Odd-rationale | crazy_bus: ok | 15:18 |
| Dr_willis | Jucato, i thouhg it was called somthing other then 'restricted' under hardy | 15:19 |
| Jucato | let me double check | 15:19 |
| Jucato | BluesKaj: no idea really... sorry.. | 15:20 |
| xsacha | Nyad: by the way, this is way easier than editing menu.lst: http://qt-apps.org/content/show.php/QGRUBEditor?content=60391 | 15:20 |
| Jucato | Dr_willis, Sneedley: ah. K Menu -> System -> Hardware Drivers Manager | 15:21 |
| BluesKaj | Jucato, ok ..strange that the tutorial tells us that the desktop icon will work but clicking on it all gives is this error : file /home/kaj/Desktop/Google-googleearth.desktop has no Type=... entry. | 15:22 |
| Jucato | BluesKaj: in that case, the problem seems to be from Google's .dekstop file... | 15:22 |

| jeroen- | ? | 15:30 |

| xsacha | crazy_bus: should ask in #compiz-fusion | 15:31 |

| crazy_bus | will I lose all of the compiz effects when I switch to kde4. Or will they slowly be ported over to kwin | 15:37 |
| Jucato | or are you talking about the tagging? | 15:37 |

| Dr_willis | too different from what i hear in the various forums. | 15:38 |
| Dr_willis | sevenseeker, that would be more X related. then window manager related. and a lot would depend on yoru video card/chipset | 15:39 |
| Dr_willis | and laptop. :) | 15:39 |
| Jucato | well obviously one is GTK+ based and the other is Qt based :) | 15:39 |
| sevenseeker | true, but does KDE4 use xrandr? | 15:39 |
| === ville_ is now known as Damenheth | ||
| sevenseeker | hmmm, what does KDE4 use for multimedia keys like on a laptop (Inspiron 9300) | 15:43 |
| sevenseeker | ? | 15:43 |
| === scorpking is now known as ScorpKing | ||
| ScorpKing | i just installed kubuntu on my dad's laptop but X is a bit messed up. there are hardly any settings in /etc/X11/xorg.conf. has it been changed in 8.04? | 15:46 |
| jeroen- | anyone knows about the problem that the power-manager says "lid is closed", but the laptop lid is actually not closed? | 15:46 |
| crashhandler | is there a thing like 'force-empty-trash-bin'?? | 15:46 |
| jeroen- | ScorpKing: try to move xorg.conf away (like xorg.confBK) and trey it again | 15:47 |
| jeroen- | afterwards you can configure it easilt under systemsettings | 15:47 |
| ScorpKing | jeroen-: i did and it creates a faulty one again. funny but that same xorg.conf file works perfect on my laptop | 15:47 |
| jeroen- | ScorpKing: strange, it should start without making a new xorg.conf | 15:48 |
| jeroen- | ScorpKing: try to a sudo dpkg-reconfigure xorg | 15:48 |
| ScorpKing | jeroen-: gui settings is also disabled. could not load a module. i set the driver to vesa but the best i can get then is 800x600 | 15:48 |
| ScorpKing | jeroen-: ok i'll run that | 15:49 |
| jeroen- | ScorpKing: ok so X starts? | 15:49 |
| ScorpKing | yes it does | 15:49 |
| jeroen- | try another driver | 15:49 |
| ScorpKing | i did. usually i'm quite happy to fiddle with X but this one beats me | 15:50 |
| ScorpKing | jeroen-: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xorg does nothing. is there a verbose option i can give it? | 15:51 |
| linux66 | salut tout le monde | 15:51 |
| ScorpKing | jeroen-: here is xorg.conf - http://paste.ubuntu.com/11257/ | 15:54 |
| ScorpKing | looking at the logs X does use /etc/X11/xorg.conf but if i look at that file i tend to think different | 15:55 |
| jeroen- | ScorpKing: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 15:56 |
| ScorpKing | ah ok. doing it now. | 15:57 |
| jeroen- | it should detect the right driver | 15:57 |
| jeroen- | just go with the defaults | 15:57 |
| ScorpKing | jeroen-: why would that xorg.conf ^ work? | 15:57 |
| jeroen- | ScorpKing: it genaretes a new xorg.conf | 15:58 |
| jeroen- | if that is not working maybe someone else knows the answer | 15:58 |
| ScorpKing | jeroen-: the one i pasted is perfect on my/this laptop. i'm confused why. is yours the same? | 15:58 |
| jeroen- | ScorpKing: no | 15:58 |
| ScorpKing | hmm.. | 15:59 |
| ScorpKing | jeroen-: thanks for the help. i'll get it working ;) | 15:59 |
| jeroen- | good luck | 15:59 |
| sevenseeker | what do I use for multimedia keys in KDE4? | 15:59 |

| pulaski | I recently upgraded from gutsy 7.10 desktop to hardy heron 8.4. Everything seemed to go fine however there is a package libgtk1.2 that Adept Updater grabs whose statuts is upgradable though its Requested field indicates no change. The Adept Updater icon in the system tray remains. When I use apt-get update/upgrade the same package is shown with the message "The following packages have been kept back: libgtk1.2. Can anyone | 16:12 |
| pulaski | suggest why this package has been kept back and how long will the adept-updater icon remain? Is it worth worrying about? | 16:12 |

| nathan | anybody here? | 16:20 |
| SlimeyPete | yes. | 16:20 |

| nathan | how come the sound dosent work on firefox? | 16:21 |
| SlimeyPete | no idea. I've not come across that problem... but then my sound doesn't work at all. | 16:22 |
| nathan | well i thought it didnt work at all but some things do | 16:22 |
| SlimeyPete | if you're running Ubuntu as opposed to Kubuntu, you'll be using Pulseaudio - it may be a problem with that? | 16:24 |
| SlimeyPete | though in that case you're best off asking in #ubuntu | 16:24 |
| nathan | i have no knowledge of IRC whatsoever, i opened my new IRC client and it put me here | 16:25 |

| igor__ | i heard tht i must write radio=1 | 16:34 |
| ph3n0n | oh yea, in fstab.. | 16:34 |
| igor__ | where ist that | 16:35 |
| igor__ | and where is in kubuntu module.conf | 16:35 |
| igor__ | i open kaffeine | 16:36 |
| igor__ | but there is no option for radio | 16:37 |
| igor__ | i have kubuntu 7.10 cd live | 16:38 |
| Nebular | I am attepting to use the 8.04 live cd on my dell inspiron 8100. It has a 3Com 3c556 network card, but it doesn't seem work with the livecd. lspci show it, but when I load the module 3c556 it doesn't bring up eth0. I get no error from loading the module | 16:45 |
| Nebular | any ideas? | 16:45 |
| pulaski | jeroen, thanks 'sudo apt-get install libgtk1.2' worked. Evidently libgtk1.2 was missing some dependencies. I wonder, the install process removed a couple packages I had manually installed 'bcjfiltercups' and ' bjfilterpixus550i' under gutsty in an unsucessful effort to get my canon i550 printer to work under kubuntu. I think I might try again to install the printer. Have you or anyone else here successfully installed a | 16:47 |

| heinkel_111 | hello..now I have upgraded to Hardy Heron, and precisely like when I upgraded to gutsy, that means nothing concerning x graphics work, i guess it is the nvidia driver installation problem in yet another appearance (sigh)...I am back to surfing the net with lynx and irssi, at least there is a chance I can find some howto solutions now | 16:53 |
| heinkel_111 | long live the console login | 16:53 |
| SlimeyPete | I'd edit your xorg.conf so that X uses the vesa driver | 16:53 |
| SlimeyPete | then use the hardware manager in X. | 16:54 |

| Jucato | Gutsy? K Menu -> System Settings -> Advanced tab -> Restricted Manager | 17:09 |

| bitbyte | k | 17:10 |
| SlimeyPete | my 7600s are well-supported | 17:10 |

| bitbyte | i know if you get one thats too new then you don't get support either, or that's what the case used to be | 17:10 |
| bitbyte | it's like walking a tightrope | 17:10 |
| genii | jasmin_: I'm investigationg your issue. Please be patient | 17:10 |
| SlimeyPete | I should think 8600s will be fine... though you'll want to google first | 17:10 |

| jasmin_ | genii: ok | 17:11 |
| heinkel_111 | SlimeyPete: the 8600 is the card causing me trouble at each upgrade, btw | 17:11 |
| erythrocyte | installing and getting it to work, i mean | 17:11 |
| SlimeyPete | heinkel_111: if you used nvidia's own driver installer, then that's the problem, not the card | 17:11 |
| genii | jasmin_: Please issue from Konsole: sudo apt-get install --reinstall kde-kdm-themes | 17:12 |
| SlimeyPete | if you use the nvidia installer, every time the kernel gets upgraded your driver will stop working. | 17:12 |
| heinkel_111 | SlimeyPete: Jucato: that hardware driver manager is useless to me, shows no info and nothing to edit in there... | 17:12 |
| heinkel_111 | SlimeyPete: I had to use the nvidia installer because gutsy didnt support the 8600 | 17:13 |

| Jucato | !sudo | jasmin_ | 17:29 |

| ubottu | jasmin_: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. | 17:29 |
| erythrocyte | wirechief: i guess i don't know much about that...but when i goto View>Split Screen and select an option, it works for me...clicking in a split screen window makes it an 'active window' | 17:29 |

| ubottu | Dolphin, or more properly D3lphin, is the new default file manager for Kubuntu 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon. If you would like to make Konqueror your default file manager again, go to Konqueror - Settings menu - Configure Konqueror - File Associations and change the association for inode/directory and inode/system_directory to Konqueror at the top rather than Dolphin. | 17:32 |
| wirechief | erythrocyte: the older had it as default but not the newer | 17:32 |
| genii | jasmin_: Anyhow, the fix for you: in file /etc/kde3/kdm/kdmrc find the line: Theme=@@@ToBeReplacedByDesktopBase@@@ and replace with: Theme= You can open it with alt-f2 and: kdesudo kate /etc/kde3/kdm/kdmrc | 17:32 |

| mrkeishii | so why do you guys use kubuntu? | 17:34 |
| afeijo | its cool | 17:35 |
| mrkeishii | does kubuntu have more features than Ubuntu? | 17:35 |
| afeijo | but I cant make my epson scanner to work, lol | 17:35 |
| dhq | mrkeishii: its jazzy and smooth | 17:35 |
| mrkeishii | is it better than ubuntu? | 17:35 |
| genii | !best | 17:35 |
| ubottu | Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 17:35 |
| BluesKaj | mrkeishii, it's a matter of taste , mostly | 17:35 |
| genii | "better" is subjective | 17:35 |
| mrkeishii | okay | 17:35 |
| dhq | mrkeishii: well the difference is gnome and kde some like gnome some like kde | 17:36 |
| mrkeishii | well which is a better desktop? | 17:36 |
| xsacha | mrkeishii: another difference is kde apps use Qt and gnome apps use gtk generally | 17:36 |
| mrkeishii | what is qt | 17:36 |
| Jucato | !better | mrkeishii | 17:36 |
| ubottu | mrkeishii: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 17:36 |
| Jucato | !qt | mrkeishii | 17:37 |
| ubottu | mrkeishii: Qt is the Qt (pronounced "cute") toolkit, which forms the base of KDE and is used by many applications to provide a !GUI. Install the libqt3-mt-dev package to compile Qt 3 applications or libqt4-dev for Qt 4 applications. Qt 4.4 is available from hardy-backports | 17:37 |
| xsacha | qt is a toolkit created by Trolltech (purchased by Nokia) | 17:37 |
| Jucato | xsacha: still in the process of.. not yet complete | 17:37 |
| xsacha | its gonna go through.. | 17:37 |
| mrkeishii | so why do you guys prefer to use kde than ubuntu? | 17:37 |
| Jucato | xsacha: sure. but they have to pass EU scrutiny first | 17:38 |
| Jucato | which is why it isn't complete yet | 17:38 |
| richard | I would like to set up my 2 hard drives (Xp on one Kubuntu on the other) for dual booting, It indicated to add some lines to this file: boot/grub/grub.conf, but when I open with kate, there is no line indicating timeout = 30 for me to add to | 17:38 |
| Jucato | mrkeishii: simple reason. because it works for them/us, because they/we like it. | 17:38 |
| genii | mrkeishii: kde IS ubuntu, with a different window manager. It's all a matter of which graphical interface you like to the system underneath | 17:38 |
| xsacha | mrkeishii: maybe read this: http://polishlinux.org/kde/kde-4-rev-790000-better-stability-and-performance/ (its visual so not so much reading) | 17:39 |
| genii | mrkeishii: Some ppl prefer kde some prefer gnome, others prefer other types of interfaces. It all depends on how you like to work or so | 17:39 |
| xsacha | lol | 17:39 |
| genii | Heh, drove him off :) | 17:40 |
| Jucato | next time he comes back and asks the same questions... | 17:40 |
| xsacha | ok, plan for next time: just say kubuntu is better, duh | 17:40 |
| genii | hehe | 17:40 |
| genii | Refer him to Ratpoison..... | 17:40 |
| Jucato | nah. I'll just kick... *if* he asks the same questions over and over again... it will be obvious that he's just trolling/baiting | 17:40 |
| xsacha | tell him xubuntu is best | 17:40 |
| genii | jasmin_: Did you take the steps i recommended yet to fix your kdm issue? | 17:41 |
| xsacha | :P | 17:41 |
| plut0nash | hmmm | 17:41 |
| plut0nash | how do i change the root password? | 17:41 |
| genii | bah | 17:42 |
| xsacha | well there is no root password by default in *ubuntu | 17:42 |
| plut0nash | i changed mine | 17:42 |
| plut0nash | want to set it to blank | 17:42 |
| plut0nash | :P | 17:42 |
| * genii is tempted to !root plut0nash | 17:42 | |
| xsacha | a blank root password? | 17:42 |
| plut0nash | yeah | 17:42 |
| plut0nash | so i can run some apps | 17:42 |
| xsacha | *blinks* | 17:43 |
| xsacha | sudo | 17:43 |
| plut0nash | it seems to not allow adept to run | 17:43 |
| plut0nash | :( | 17:43 |
| * JoshOvki head hurts from all the possible security issues | 17:43 | |
| plut0nash | and then tells me | 17:43 |
| plut0nash | no password supplied | 17:43 |
| JoshOvki | plut0nash: have you entered your password? | 17:43 |
| plut0nash | yes | 17:44 |
| plut0nash | i have | 17:44 |
| plut0nash | when i attempt to change teh root password | 17:44 |
| plut0nash | it doesn't allow me to blank it | 17:44 |
| JoshOvki | for obvious reasons | 17:44 |
| Jucato | there is no root password in the first place | 17:44 |
| genii | plut0nash: If you for some reason for instance ran adept with something like: sudo adept or went: sudo su then ran it, it will not run again for normal user because the permissions in your home directory got messy. | 17:44 |
| plut0nash | ok | 17:45 |
| plut0nash | sorted | 17:45 |
| Jucato | 2nd, having a passwordless root account is extremely dangerous | 17:45 |
| plut0nash | ok | 17:45 |
| plut0nash | well | 17:45 |
| plut0nash | at least i'm secured a little | 17:45 |
| plut0nash | :0 | 17:45 |
| xsacha | how? | 17:45 |
| Jucato | you're not secured at all... | 17:46 |
| afeijo | what do you use for scanners? | 17:46 |
| plut0nash | Jucato: sarcasm dude :P | 17:46 |
| * JoshOvki didnt get the sarcasm | 17:46 | |
| dennister | hey channel...having a real mounting problems with cifs...not used to it, but smbfs is deprecated, so I might as well get this right | 17:46 |

| will01 | is there an easy way of switching from kde to gnome? | 17:49 |

| genii | nate_: the permissions of mountpoints of a partition cannot be changed.

| igor__ | where can I correct radio=1 | 18:24 |
| genii | igor__: Is it built in to your computer or a separate adapter? | 18:24 |
| igor__ | in pc | 18:24 |
| igor__ | tv card | 18:24 |
| dennister | genii: ok, the noauto option in fstab, followed by manual mounting in terminal worked fine...although I still don't have any IPv4 entries in network connections-->domain name system | 18:25 |
| igor__ | does someone have tv card on kubuntu 7.10 | 18:26 |
| genii | dennister: ipv4 has nothing to do with anything | 18:27 |
| dennister | ok, so how do i fix it so these shares do mount automatically at boot? | 18:27 |
| genii | dennister: The system is doing it's fstab mounting chores before the network adapter has been initialised. | 18:27 |
| dennister | ahh, ok, so we should change the order? | 18:28 |
| genii | dennister: N0. | 18:28 |
| dennister | then what do you suggest? | 18:28 |
| genii | dennister: Need to add something like a mount line to rc.local | 18:28 |
| dennister | ok, the same line i used in terminal? that will ensure that the samba shares are mounted late in the process? | 18:29 |
| genii | dennister: Yes, same line as in terminal | 18:29 |
| genii | Exactly | 18:30 |
| igor__ | does someone have tv card on kubuntu 7.10 | 18:30 |
| dennister | and comment out the fstab line, or remove them? not needed there if they're in rc.local | 18:30 |
| genii | igor__: The radio=1 line you need to add is when the module for your card is loaded. So in /etc/modules you need a line like: em2888 radio=1 | 18:31 |
| genii | if em2888 is the module name | 18:31 |
| igor__ | mybe saa7134 | 18:32 |
| genii | dennister: Leave fstab line and use short mount line in rc.local | 18:32 |
| igor__ | only that? | 18:32 |
| igor__ | what else | 18:32 |
| genii | igor__: Yes only that | 18:32 |
| igor__ | what about video | 18:33 |

| genii | dennister: Wehn fstab says eg: /dev/somewhere /mountpoint you can put only: mount /mountpoint rc.local | 18:33 |
| genii | *in rc.local | 18:33 |
| zan_ | hello | 18:34 |
| wirechief__ | dognewes what graphics card ? driver ? | 18:34 |
| wirechief__ | dognews: what graphics card ? driver ? | 18:34 |
| genii | igor__: The options for specifying your adapter to use a specific tuner type depends on the module. In my case I use em288 or so mosule which has option of tuner=XX where XX is from 00 to 45 but your module may have different options | 18:35 |
| dognews | wirechief__: ati radeon 9600 (see window KInfoCenter in linked image); fglrx driver (see window KWrite) | 18:37 |
| dennister | genii: i'm sorry, buti don't understand what you meant by that last line... i opened my /etc/init.d/rc.local file and think the /etc/rc.local file is the one i want to add the terminal mount line | 18:37 |
| JackWinter | hmm, something has gone wrong with my system. yesterday i did a full updaaate of my system, and i've lost wine and amarok. don't know what other systems are missing... | 18:37 |
| wirechief__ | dognews do you see errors in cat /var/logs/Xorg.0.log |grep EE | 18:38 |
| genii | dennister: By the time the rc.local line is executed, it has already scanned the fstab. So you don't need to remove fstab line, which is an easier place to change mount options than in rc.local. The rc.local will use whatever mount options you had in fstab. So instead of a line like mount -t cifs somename@somewhere /mountpoint in rc.local just put mount /mountpoint in rc.local which then will turn to fstab for the | 18:39 |
| genii | options to use | 18:39 |
| wirechief__ | dognews egrep '^\((EE|WW)\)' /var/log/Xorg.0.log and see if anything is relavant | 18:40 |

| BluesKaj | BonesolTeraDyne, don't remove it | 18:52 |
| v6lur | BonesolTeraDyne, language-support-en is a metapackage and can be safely removed | 18:52 |
| v6lur | BluesKaj, why not? | 18:52 |
| BluesKaj | cuz of other app dependencies | 18:52 |
| BonesolTeraDyne | such as? | 18:53 |
| BluesKaj | can screw up the KB in xorg for example | 18:53 |
| BonesolTeraDyne | Ah. Then why the HECK are they tying it with OOo? That seems messed up. | 18:53 |
| BonesolTeraDyne | tieing* | 18:54 |
| v6lur | yes, and it debends on thunderbird too | 18:54 |

| dwidmann_laptop | zetheroo: if things aren't working the way they're intended to, then it's a bug. | 21:02 |
| dwidmann_laptop | zetheroo: heck, if it's not working the way you WANT it to, you could file a bug report ... though that usually falls under wishlist, but if it isn't functional at all then that's definitely a bug. | 21:02 |
| zetheroo | maybe the kipi-plugins are only for the older version of Gwenview!? | 21:03 |
| dwidmann_laptop | zetheroo: That's not likely. | 21:03 |
| genii | dennister: I think when it asks for password at mount time and no user can input it, it skips over. So add as options in the /user/sbin/mymount user=myname,password=mypassword to the lines | 21:03 |

| === ssj is now known as SSJ_GZ | ||
| _crash_ | Fix it! | 21:07 |
| zetheroo | dwidmann_laptop: no worries... sorry for your troubles | 21:07 |
| dwidmann_laptop | _crash_: fix what? | 21:07 |
| Kiry | <headdesk> I've been chasing down leads and fixes and whatnot ever since I installed 8.04 on my thinkpad | 21:07 |
| Kiry | I still can NOT get the sound to work | 21:08 |
| dwidmann_laptop | _crash_: I intend to get to the bottom of my desktop's troubles tomorrow, via warranty work or RMA ... | 21:08 |
| _crash_ | dwidmann_laptop: Whats going on with it? | 21:08 |
| araizen | when I insert my USB disk it auto-mounts it, but with the owner as root so I can't write to it. Is there a way to fix that so that I automatically have write access when I insert it? | 21:08 |
| dwidmann_laptop | _crash_: it hard reboots once every few minutes. | 21:08 |
| _crash_ | OS? | 21:09 |
| dwidmann_laptop | _crash_: os independent | 21:09 |
| _crash_ | dwidmann_laptop: checked the obvious stuff? (heating, loose connections, overclock settings, ram timing, etc?) | 21:10 |
| zetheroo | dwidmann_laptop: I went to the KDE4 Kipi site and it looks like I need to try installing libkipi instead of kipi-plugins ... so I am giving that a shot | 21:11 |
| _crash_ | dwidmann_laptop: Do you know anything about rt61 drivers? | 21:11 |
| dwidmann_laptop | _crash_: it was happening at random, but far less often, once every day or two, then I added in 2 gig of RAM (passes memtest fine how it doens't crash when I'm running memtest is beyond me ...which leads me to my next idea), I also added a second hard drive nad DVD drive. ...... Maybe the SATA controller is bad. Processor isn't melting down or anything though it's not as coolas I'd like _crash_, and I'm not overclocking | 21:11 |
| dwidmann_laptop | _crash_: never heard of 'em, but maybe google will tell me | 21:11 |
| _crash_ | dwidmann_laptop: Well, when all else fails, pull the new hardware and then add it piece by piece until it fails | 21:13 |
| dwidmann_laptop | _crash_: I think I'll test the drives in my old setup to see if they're the point of failure, but I'm doubting it, though they would be cheaper to replace if this comes down to having to come out of my pocket .... power supply I'd also love to swap for testing but I don't have a second one with the 8-pin plug for the motherboard :( | 21:15 |

| andresj | does kubuntu hardy kde4 use pulseaudio as phonon backend? or alsa directly? | 21:17 |
| _crash_ | dwidmann_laptop: good idea, but consider that there may be nothing wrong with the drive OR the sata controller. There could just be a bug in the communication with your specific hardware. | 21:17 |
| _crash_ | Happens all the time | 21:17 |
| jussi01 | andresj: alsa directly iirc, but for more kde4 support go to #kubuntu-kde4 :) | 21:18 |
| dwidmann_laptop | _crash_: possible | 21:18 |

| genii | bah | 21:23 |
| dennister | however, my back is killing me and I'm going to have to lie down for a couple of hours to rest it...its funny, i was able yesterday to see this pc and the others, and fully use the samba shares on this pc, even with the dmesg errors......just not in reverse | 21:24 |
| dennister | oops...i should say i was able to see/use this pc and its shares FROM the other pc's...just not from this one | 21:25 |

| dmbkiwi | hey, just installed hardy, and got a couple of issues. | 21:31 |
| dmbkiwi | first is that if I manually configure my ethernet interface through knetworkmanager, the network shows that there is no active device. Flip back to dhcp, and all is good. Problem is I want a fixed address on this machine. | 21:31 |
| humbolto | kde4 has it's own compositing manager I heard. How do I disable compiz. It seems to be automatically started! | 21:34 |

| wimpies | HI all, the screen resolution of my desktop is lower than that of the login manager. I can change the resolution using krandtray but when I logout the resolution reverts back to a low resolution. How can I persist that change ? | 21:37 |
| humbolto | tnx, however, do you guys know, where I find the setting to prevent compiz from starting automatically the next time> | 21:37 |
| humbolto | The weird thing is, that I don't even have compiz start automatically in gnome! But it does in kde4. | 21:38 |
| humbolto | Why is KDE so fast and damn Gnome so freaking slow?! | 21:39 |
| jussi01 | !fixres | wimpies | 21:39 |

| TheGentleman | Recently upgraded to Kubuntu Hardy, I never tried Compiz before. Now I'm curious about it and I would like to give compiz a try. | 21:43 |
| TheGentleman | My concern is the following: | 21:43 |
| TheGentleman | should I don't like it, can I restore my system to previous without risks and not loosing anything in performance? | 21:44 |
| TheGentleman | in other words... is uninstalling Compiz as smooth, fool and failproof as it should be installing it? | 21:46 |

| jontec | TheGentleman: how would I know which urls to use? | 21:49 |
| harolddong | when I first upgraded to hardy flash played much than they ever had before on gutsy. But since then the performance has degraded and I can't figure out what changed. lower res vids play fine but higher res vids are just a slideshow now... even worse than they were on gutsy. Is this something that's coming up for other people? | 21:50 |

| Josh0vki | !hello | 22:52 |
| ubottu | Hi! Welcome to #kubuntu! | 22:52 |
| === ubuntu is now known as scott25 | ||
| carl | i have a strange problem | 22:53 |
| kgx | !dolphin | 22:53 |
| ubottu | Dolphin, or more properly D3lphin, is the new default file manager for Kubuntu 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon. If you would like to make Konqueror your default file manager again, go to Konqueror - Settings menu - Configure Konqueror - File Associations and change the association for inode/directory and inode/system_directory to Konqueror at the top rather than Dolphin. | 22:53 |
| Josh0vki | carl: whats your problem? | 22:53 |
| BonesolTeraDyne | Someone needs to update that "dolphin" trigger | 22:54 |
| carl | if i use my sound card (which works !), when i'll shutdown my computer, it won't turn off ! | 22:54 |
| scott25 | can someone help me with this error "run_program :'/sbin/modprobe' abnormal exit" (i get it when i boot) | 22:55 |
| Josh0vki | carl: your computer wont shutoff? | 22:55 |
| carl | yes, the hard disk makes the "shutoff sound" and my keyboard leds do the "shutoff blink" but i get stucked on the empty bar upslash screen | 22:56 |
| carl | i've found that if i run "sudo alsa unload" before shutting down (and after using my soundcard), it will shut off | 22:57 |
| carl | it's a dirty workaround, and i'd like to find a resolution to the problem | 22:57 |
| Josh0vki | odd error | 22:58 |
| holyguyver_ | Hey guys, it is me the 1998 Gateway guy. I just bought a HP Pavilion Slimline s3120n PC, how well will Linux play with that? | 22:59 |
| carl | yes it is, ho i have this bug for gutsy and hardy | 22:59 |
| scott25 | can someone help me with this error "run_program :'/sbin/modprobe' abnormal exit" (i get it when i boot) | 23:00 |
| Josh0vki | carl: its not a perfect solution but as a work around you could add alsa unload into the shutdown script | 23:01 |
| carl | Josh0vki: i think i'll try this, cuold rou remind me where is that file (i'm still a beginner) | 23:02 |
| Josh0vki | carl: two seconds i will find it | 23:03 |
| Josh0vki | carl: /etc/rc0.d not 100 sure if it will work tho | 23:03 |
| Josh0vki | carl: whats the make / model of your computer? | 23:04 |
| Josh0vki | or sound card | 23:05 |
| carl | Intel Corporation 82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW (ICH6 Family) High Definition Audio Controller [8086:2668] | 23:06 |
| carl | it's in a dfi motherboard | 23:07 |
| Josh0vki | carl: there are a few bug reports for this thing, but not solutions | 23:11 |
| carl | so the rc0 scrip may be the best solution | 23:12 |
| Josh0vki | yeh, create a file in /etc/rc0.d and put #!/bin/sh unload alsa and then save the file, you must remember to chmod it twith sudo chmod a+x /etc/rc0.d/filename | 23:14 |
| carl | i'm getting better everyday ! that's exactly what i've done | 23:15 |
| raket | hey people, I installed another keyboard layout, and I picked a key combination so I can change it whenever I need it... but Alt-Shift in this case doesn't work. as in, it won't change the languages | 23:15 |

| carl | i test that now, i'm coming back for the results | 23:17 |
| Josh0vki | kk :) | 23:17 |

| PovAddict | I need help installing Flash | 23:46 |
| PovAddict | and #ubuntu is a mess | 23:46 |
| PovAddict | I installed mozilla-plugin-gnash and it gave this error: | 23:46 |
| PovAddict | update-alternatives: unable to make /usr/lib/xulrunner-addons/plugins/flashplugin-alternative.so.dpkg-tmp a symlink to /etc/alternatives/xulrunner-addons-flashplugin: No such file or directory | 23:47 |
| bleaked | PovAddict: doesn't flash just install the first time you go to a site that uses it? | 23:48 |
| PovAddict | you mean the official adobe plugin? | 23:48 |
| PovAddict | I'm on 64-bit | 23:48 |
| PovAddict | so no | 23:49 |
| david__ | remote contact est. | 23:49 |
| bleaked | PovAddict: not sure about that.. does installing flashplugin-nonfree help? | 23:49 |
| david__ | weasels, hooooo! | 23:49 |
| PovAddict | bleaked: there is no nonfree for 64-bit | 23:49 |
| PovAddict | in fact I can't even find "flashplugin-nonfree" in the repos (apt-cache search flash doesn't show it) | 23:50 |
| bleaked | argh.. my bad..well, not sure then.. (personally i'm waiting a few years to adopt 64 bit for reasons like these) | 23:50 |
| david__ | I swear to a God, got this cool friggin' super serve, gettin' tired of the master slam! | 23:50 |
| david__ | Watch it pull... | 23:50 |
| david__ | |80<<53 | 23:50 |
| bleaked | PovAddict: well, you have to have the medibuntu repo enabled..(or it might be in universe or multiverse as well..not sure though) | 23:50 |
| PovAddict | I don't have multiverse enabled | 23:51 |
| PovAddict | anyway I'd need a 32-bit browser to use adobe's plugin | 23:51 |
| PovAddict | along with a shitload of 32-bit libraries for said browser to run | 23:51 |
| PovAddict | too much effort, and I don't even need Flash, I just want my mom to stop complaining about some websites not working (she complained enough about me putting Linux in here...) | 23:52 |
| bleaked | PovAddict: yea, honestly, 64-bit is really not tailored for the desktop at this point.. it's best used on servers | 23:52 |
| PovAddict | my "desktop" is permanently at 100% CPU | 23:53 |
| bleaked | have you searched the forums? | 23:53 |
| PovAddict | $ uptime | 23:53 |
| PovAddict | 19:53:20 up 17:39, 2 users, load average: 2.17, 2.23, 2.20 | 23:53 |
| iceolate | any idea why i can use torrent and irc clients but not web browsing and package manager installs? | 23:53 |
| PovAddict | and I do have stuff that actually goes 3x faster on 64-bit | 23:54 |
| PovAddict | anyway any idea why Gnash doesn't install? | 23:54 |
| PovAddict | it's one of the few times I have had a package actually fail to install | 23:54 |
| PovAddict | kinda impressive how quiet this channel is compared to #ubuntu mess | 23:55 |
| carl | maybe there are less problems with kde ? (oops) | 23:55 |
| PovAddict | carl++ | 23:56 |
| carl | and i finally succeeded with my sound card workaround | 23:56 |
| PovAddict | maybe most noobs go with the default: gnome | 23:56 |
| SlimeyPete | considerably fewer users than Ubuntu, I imagine ;) | 23:56 |
